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 Leah and I’m currently a third-year student at Penn State University. I recently moved to Wesley Chapel, FL, and I absolutely love it here! Since I’m home for the summer, I’d love to spend my time doing something meaningful, which is helping families who are in need of a reliable and caring sitter. I come from a big family and have three younger siblings. As the oldest, I’ve been helping take care of them for as long as I can remember, ranging from feeding, entertaining, helping with homework, bedtime routines, you name it! With both of my parents working full-time, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role, and it’s truly become second nature to me. I treat my siblings like they’re my own, and I’d love the chance to bring that same level of care and attention to your family too. I’m responsible, friendly, and love working with kids. I’m also happy to help with light chores, meals, or anything else that makes your life a little easier!
