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.

I grew up in a big, loving family, which is where my passion for caring for children first began. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience babysitting infants as young as 1 month old all the way up to 5 years old.
I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a fun and safe environment for kids to learn and grow. I enjoy spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and helping little ones explore the world around them.
In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with housekeeping tasks and meal prep to make your day a little easier. I take pride in keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly.
I’m excited to connect with families in Chandler and support you with reliable, caring childcare. Please feel free to reach out. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the right fit for your family!

A little bit about me
I also love pets and enjoy caring for them, whether that means feeding, walking, or simply giving them companionship. Families can count on me to be dependable, caring, and responsible in every task. I have my own vehicle, making transportation for school pick-ups, activities, or appointments easy and reliable.
My goal is to provide a nurturing, trustworthy, and supportive environment where both children and pets feel cared for, and where families feel confident that their loved ones are in good hands.
