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

I am an experienced early childhood educator with a passion for helping young children learn and grow. In 2024, I worked at Centner Child Care with children ages 2–3, where I focused on creating a nurturing, engaging, and supportive learning environment. For the past two years, I have been teaching Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten, helping students build confidence, develop foundational skills, and prepare for future academic success.
I am dedicated, patient, and enthusiastic about working with children, and I take pride in creating meaningful relationships with both students and their families. Watching children learn, grow, and reach new milestones is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
I am currently seeking a part-time or full-time position where I can continue making a positive impact in the lives of young learners. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, and being near the ocean.
