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

Hey all! My name is Emmaline and I'm 21 years old. I adore children and approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and mutual respect above all else. I strive to curate an environment that values upholding your family behavioral standards while making each and every child feel heard, supported, and loved. I'm looking to finish my English degree at Wayne State resuming classes sometime in the fall or early new year but am willing to work around your schedule. I am a huge reader and try my hardest to impart positive associations with reading and language arts in all children in my care, as well as inspiring them to develop their creativity and analytical thinking skills. I have reliable transportation that has the capacity for 2 car seats and a clean driving record. My CPR and First Aid certs are currently expired after 4 years of cont. renewal but I am looking into getting recertified. I'm open to PT, FT, and temp summer positions and look forward to hearing from you and your family!
