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.

Hi! My name is Emily, and I have over four years of experience working with children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can learn and grow.

In the fall, I’ll be attending the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) to major in Early Childhood Education. I’m excited to turn my love for working with children into a lifelong career! I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their childcare provider, and I strive to build open, honest communication with every family I work with. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the children in my care. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care for your little ones!
