Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
  • Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
  • Be specific about hours upfront. Most child care will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
  • Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
  • Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

A little bit about me

My name is Shena S. Briscoe, and I am a 26-year-old nanny with extensive childcare experience.

Originally from London, I currently reside in Miami. As the eldest of five children in a Jamaican and Slavic family, I have been entrusted with the responsibility of caring for my siblings, now ages 7, 10, 15, and 16, from a young age. This has provided me with valuable experience in newborn care, infant care, and general childcare.

I have a spirited personality and a true passion for engaging with children, whether it's playing, drawing, or exploring. My experience also includes supporting mothers and working alongside au pairs. I am available for full-time weekend care, flexible with hours, and a reliable driver.

During the week, I work as an assistant property manager in Aventura and plan to pursue my studies at UMiami next year. I would love to discuss how I can support your family.

Thank you for your consideration.
