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.

My name is rakem. I’m 25 years old & have 4 little brothers (I’m the oldest out of 5). When I turned 13 I became the man of the house because my mother worked a lot. I had to learn to cook and clean early and it’s been second nature ever since. I can cook a variety of food and clean well. I have tattoos mostly are covered up with clothes. I have a daughter 5 years of age so I know what it takes & im fully capable of taking care of anything a child needs.
