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 LaDrea King, I’m moving from Tulsa Oklahoma to Texas. I have three years of childcare experience with children ranging from infants to school-aged. I began in 2022 working with 4th and 5th graders, then transitioned to a daycare setting in 2023, spending a year with 3-year-olds before moving into the 1-year-old classroom, where I supported early developmental milestones. In 2025, I became a full-time nanny for a 2-year-old and 3-year-old, managing daily routines such as school drop-offs, light cleaning, errands, and meal planning, while also creating engaging, educational activities. Through these roles, I’ve developed strong skills in nurturing, structure, and creativity. Childcare has become a true passion of mine, and I take pride in creating safe, fun, and supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
