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 have over nine years of experience caring for children from 6 months to 12 years old through babysitting and nannying. For several years, I worked with a family of four children, helping with everything from after-school routines and activities to creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them to grow. I genuinely love working with kids and enjoy helping them build confidence, learn new things, and develop strong social skills.
In addition to my childcare experience, I have been a lifeguard for six years, most recently at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club. This role has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate effectively with families, and ensure children's safety at all times. I am patient, dependable, and caring, and I take pride in creating positive relationships with both children and parents.
