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 my name is Kaitlynn Ceja and growing up in an environment filled with the joyful sounds of children and the nurturing atmosphere of in-home child care, from a young age, I developed a deep passion for caring for others, inspired by the daily interactions and responsibilities of my mothers child care business, where she cares for children ages 6weeks to 8year olds. This early exposure instilled in me a profound understanding of the importance of nurturing and educating young minds. Alongside my love for child care, I am also pursuing a career as a professional esthetician, combining my dedication to well-being and beauty. Balancing these two passions, I am committed to making a positive impact both in the lives of children and in the field of esthetics.
