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
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!

A little bit about me
A little about me: I am CPR, AED, Fingerprint and background checked! I Recently returned home from the University of Oregon, so I’m a huge fan of hiking, football, and spending time outdoors. SCO Ducks! I love staying active, whether that’s going on hikes, swimming, or enjoying nature.
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.
Outside of that, I recently added a fluffy new puppy to our family! When she’s not getting into trouble, we love spending time at the dog park together.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’d be happy to connect with you! 😊
