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 Paola. I’m 22 years old and originally from a small country town in Florida. My fiancé and I recently moved to Texas, where he is originally from. I am a licensed cosmetologist with a strong passion for caring for others and creating a positive, nurturing space.
My mother has been my greatest inspiration in many ways. Growing up watching her balance a successful career while being an incredible, hands-on mom to my younger brother and me taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency. That experience shaped my natural nurturing instincts and love for children.
While I may not have formal nanny experience yet, I genuinely adore little ones and am highly motivated to learn. I am more than willing to obtain any certifications required and take the initiative to grow in this role. I am reliable, caring, and excited about the opportunity to support a family and provide attentive, loving care. I would love the chance to get to know you and your family better!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kady, I’m 27 years old and currently going to school @ TXST to be a K-6 teacher! I have a niece and a nephew who I love dearly! My niece is 2 1/2 and my nephew just turned 1, I watch them when I visit my parents back home. In 2014, when I was 19, I was a regular babysitter every other weekend for 3 families. 2 of them had 3 children ranging in ages from 3-9 ( a set of twin boys age 4) and the other family had 2 girls. I enjoyed babysitting them and always had a fun time hanging out. I will do lighthouse work and cook if necessary. I’m pretty laidback and calm and don’t get worked up easily, which I feel helps a lot when it comes to caring for children. I can also tutor/ help your child with school work if needed as well. If you choose me, I promise to love and care for your child/children as if they were my own.
