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

Even as a child, I helped with my siblings! Throughout my teens and early twenties, I babysat all the time. Since early 2009, I had been working for the military at two different Child Development Centers where I was always kept up to date on all the latest research and young child development information through annual, monthly, and even weekly training sessions. While I have cared for children of various ages, other than being a nanny, my favorite time was when I was a teacher in an infant classroom. I deeply value and appreciate how important one on one care and face to face interaction is during the first precious year (and beyond, of course). After my husband transitioned out of the military in 2014, I have been working as a nanny and absolutely loving it! I've taken an infant class at Banner Hospital in Mesa and am up to date with my infant CPR/first aid/AED training. While I've done local babysitting for various ages, each family I've nannied with has began with their infant.

A little bit about me

I bring a strong background of working with children from my career as a pediatric dental assistant, where I learned the importance of patience, safety, and building trust with kids of all ages. I truly love children and have a passion for caring for them, helping them learn, grow, and feel supported in a safe and positive environment. I have hands-on experience with daily routines, homework help, and creating fun and engaging activities that keep kids happy and active.

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.
