Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-time nannies 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 full-time nannies 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

Hello! My name is Lily and I am currently going to ASU to get my major in Psychology and a minor in early childhood education. I am the oldest of 7 kids and I have been “babysitting” all my life but officially started babysitting for other families when I turned 14. I have watched kids (1-10 at a time). Whether it was to watch a family of 3 or for a group of kids so all the parents could hangout. I’ve watched all ages varying from babies to preteens. I have my own car and am able to pick kids up for school or drop them off for an electives/extracurriculars if needed.
I am looking for a full availability or even partial. I do have school but only twice a week for 3 hours. And if there is ever a rare moment where I’m unavailable I have many trustworthy friends who could easily step up!
I have grown up loving on kids and helping them whether it was within my own household or even my church.
With that being said, I would love to be able to love on yours:) please give me a text or call!

I’m also very involved in my church community, where I serve every Sunday and participate in fun skits and activities for the kids. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love bringing energy, creativity, and kindness into everything I do.
