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

Hello! My name is Ajaune Williams. I’m a mother of four children and being a mother has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children at different stages of development. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a school bus driver transporting both general education and special-needs students. I’m also a Sunday School teacher at my church for about a year now. These experiences has taught me the importance of patience, safety, communication, and meeting children where they are. I don’t have any experience working as a professional nanny, but I’m excited about the opportunity to bring the experience I already have as a mother and educator into a nanny role. I’m open to learning new things, following your family’s routines and expectations, and becoming a dependable extension of your support system. I want to be someone who contributes positively to your child’s development by providing encouragement, support and a good attitude daily! I hope we could be a match!
