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
I’m really patient and if you want to count taking care of my little sister as experience you can too. When I’d babysit depending on the age is depending on what we would do throughout the day I try to keep them entertained so they’re not just bored but if they don’t want to do any of the things I have planned it’s okay I respect whatever they want to do I just come with ideas. I know how to cook but I can always ask the parent what they would like me to make their kids or if ask if they already have something made for them. If they want to go outside to play for a little I could take them outside unless the parent tells me not to at all then I won’t. I come with activities and ideas but I will ALWAYS go by the parents rules and ask if anything’s okay before doing it.

A little bit about me
My names Tanya, I’m very outdriven, love children, I am a people’s person. I used to help my mom out taking care of kids when she used to have a daycare since I was young, I’ve also been taking care of my sisters kids since they were newborns, I just love children, they bring so much light into anyone’s life.
I used to work at border region for about 4 years, I was a therapist technician, basically taking care of mentally unstable people, which means providing medication for them, cooking food for them, bathing them, assisting them whenever they need assistance.
I recently just got out of Starbucks where I was a barista, was working there for a year, and I left because I felt as if that wasn’t the right place for me.
I’ve always wanted to be a nanny and I feel as if I have a lot of experience with children and would love to be able to help a parent/parents out in taking care of their child!

Estudié y trabajé muchos años de maestra primaria y aunque no se inglés puedo ayudar en tareas escolares. He cuidado bebés, ya que tuve una guardería.. A los niños debemos cuidarlos porque son el tesoro de la humanidad. Hasta cuidar un gesto, una palabra, ellos siempre deben ver, escuchar, sentir lo mejor de este mundo. Así como se debe cuidar su integridad comiendo saludable y así mismo su mente debe absorber lo mejor .
