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 Tahicha, and I recently graduated from high school. I’ve always loved being around kids, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up helping take care of my four younger siblings, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with children of different ages.
I’m CPR certified, a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA), and a Certified EKG Technician (CET). I hope to become a pediatrician one day, so working with children is something I’m genuinely passionate about.
I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids can be themselves. Whether we’re reading books, coloring, playing outside, helping with homework, or just having fun together, I want every child to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to be someone both parents and children can count on.

Hi! I’m an experienced childcare professional with over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school aged kids. As both a nanny and a mom, I genuinely love helping children feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow.
One of my greatest strengths is my emotional intelligence and ability to connect with children on their level. I strive to understand not just their behaviors, but the feelings behind them, creating an environment where they feel secure, confident, and free to be themselves. I value a Montessori inspired approach that encourages independence and curiosity. I’m patient, dependable, and enjoy planning engaging, age-appropriate activities that foster confidence, creativity, and fun! I believe strong communication and trust are the foundation of every great relationship with a family, and I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind while helping children thrive.
