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
Hi! My name is DaZani, and I'm currently a freshman at the University of Houston. I'm originally from Michigan but grew up in Austin, so I'm familiar with adapting and connected to new environments.
I come from a big family — I'm the oldest of five, with another sibling on the way —so caring for children is nothing new for me and has always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I helped raise my siblings, which taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and how to make a safe environment for kids of all ages.
In my free time, I love dancing and playing the flute. I enjoy bringing positive energy and creativity into everything I do.

Hi! I’m Kaylin and I am a 21 year old part time student in school at San Jacinto Community College. On my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends, going to museums and binge watching Netflix shows! My previous experience working with children was a summer camp counselor at the Wetlands Center. I worked with kids from ages 4-14 and enjoyed every second of it. Being a older sibling myself, I understand the importance of keeping children busy and spending quality time doing things they enjoy. Whether it be a trip to the park, cooking/ cleaning around the house, giving parents a bit of free time, or even helping with homework, I would love to help with any off the parents needs!
