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! I’m a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and lots of availability for babysitting or nannying. I recently left for college for the first time after graduating high school, where I earned my high school diploma as well as a scholarship and completed my associate’s degree in Plant Science. I come from a family with three siblings, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids and helping manage a busy household. I’ve also worked as a camp counselor leading activities like cooking, crafts, and woodworking, and have experience working with younger children in my church community. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and I’m comfortable with driving, running errands, and helping around the house. I’d love to support your family this summer!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Jordan, and I have 9 years of experience in education. 5 years teaching preschool and 4 years teaching second in public schools. I recently moved to Texas from California and have been completely worn out by the public school system but all I have ever done is childcare. I’m hoping to step out of the classroom and provide trustworthy care for parents going to work. I am expecting my first child in February and am hoping to watch my own child and help other parents as well. I do currently have a full time job till Nov. 8th, then out of town the week of Thanksgiving. I know finding childcare can be difficult so I want to be completely transparent with you about my situation. Hope to hear from you soon!
