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 took all three Early Childhood Development courses in high school, which gave me a strong understanding of how to support children at different stages. I also worked at Color Us Kids Daycare from [phone number hidden], where I cared for children of various ages and helped with daily activities, learning games, and routines.
In addition to my professional experience, I have younger siblings, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, with strong communication skills and a calm attitude in any situation. Families can count on me to provide attentive care and a fun, nurturing atmosphere for their little ones.
