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 Bre. I've been in the childcare field for about five years now, working at a preschool and nannying for families here and there. I'm currently on the pursuit of becoming a dentist. I'm dedicated to working hard, but I miss the playfulness and spirit that comes from being around kids. I've had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I love hiking, crafts, reading, and cooking! I'm a pretty bubbly and open-minded individual, so I'm completely comfortable implementing any specific ideas you may have. I cherish what I do and carry myself well. I'm very pet friendly and can provide care for all of your furry friends as well.
