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 Katrin! I’m a reliable, energetic, and experienced nanny with a genuine love for kids of all ages. Born and raised in Orange County, I’m currently in Newport Beach and know the area, schools, activities, and everything OC has to offer!
I’ve been with my longest-running nanny family for nearly four years and have become a trusted part of their family. I’ve also cared for their children’s friends and other families they’ve referred me to. Now that their kids are older, I’m excited to find a new family!
I have experience with children ages 6 months–15 years, including up to four at once. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs/pickups, activities, playdates, homework, appointments, and busy schedules. I have a clean driving record and can transport children. I’ve also done extended and week-long overnights while parents travel.
I’m responsible, punctual, communicative, and easy to work with. I’d love to build a genuine, long-term relationship with a new family! ♡

A little bit about me
Children flourish when they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—and creating that environment is what I do best. Hi 👋🏼, I'm Bernice, and caring for children is more than a job to me—it's a responsibility and privilege I take to heart.💕
As a nanny, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and free to learn and grow. Whether we're reading stories, 📚exploring nature☀️🌿, working on creative projects, helping with homework, or simply sharing laughter throughout the day, I believe childhood should be filled with warmth, curiosity, and joyful memories.
My goal is not simply to supervise children, but to become a positive, trusted presence in their lives while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, and thriving.
I would love the opportunity to learn about your family and discuss how I can support your children's growth, development, and daily happiness.
I welcome the opportunity to connect.
