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.

Born and raised in Brazil, Portuguese is my first language, so I can help your little one to learn a new language and culture! Coming from a big family, my youngest brother is 9, so I’ve always been around kids, including newborns. My most recent reference comes from a sweet baby girl, I nannied her from 10 months - now! I love taking kids to new places, such as the aquarium, zoo, parks, planetarium, craft, outdoors cooking/baking and I have a clean driving record. Thank you for your time!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alicia. I am 48 and and I am the mother of 7 wonderful children and 6 stepchildren. I absolutely love kids and all but 1 of my children have grown up and moved away. I have a 12 year old at home but she is in school all day and I miss having little ones at home so I thought this would be great career for me. I am CPR certified and a CASA volunteer for children in foster care..(which requires a background check). I also have been a teachers aid. I just had my first grandchild and he lives in NC and just went to daycare. Being a 1st time grandma I really struggled with the idea of him being in daycare and hoping that he will be loved and taken care and his needs will be met. If I get the privilege of watching your children I will make sure that they are taken care just like the wish I have for my grandchild.
