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
Hi families!
My name is Gabbs, I’m a dependable, caring, and fun-loving nanny with several years of hands-on experience. For the past 3 years, I’ve worked closely with a wonderful family of three children. Even though my regular time with them has ended, they still call on me for help because the kids and I formed such a strong bond, they just love having me around!
A bit about me... I’m a 22 year old with a big kid at heart! I love playing video games and board games, spending time outdoors, and getting creative with crafts or activities. I’m also passionate about cooking and baking, and I enjoy involving kids in the kitchen when it’s safe and fun to do so. I believe in fostering a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, happy, and encouraged to be themselves.
I’m here to be more than just a caregiver, I want to be a positive role model and a trusted part of your family’s day to day life.
