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 Keniya, and I’m someone who genuinely enjoys caring for others and creating a safe, positive environment for children. I have hands-on caregiving experience through foster care work, private family caregiving, day care and healthcare support roles, where I learned patience, responsibility, and how important it is to make people feel comfortable and cared for.
I’m dependable, compassionate, and very attentive to children’s needs. I can help with meal preparation, homework, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping kids engaged with fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also CPR certified, organized, and able to stay calm in stressful situations.
Families would describe me as trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to communicate with. I always strive to build strong relationships with both children and parents while making sure everyone feels supported and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same care and positive energy to your family.

A little bit about me
I enjoy working with kids because I have always loved to watch them grow and become their own individual and see their personalities blossom. I love being able to teach them so many new things and for them to carry it with them.
I started working with kids when I started an internship in high school sophomore year and ever since I have worked in a daycare with every age group and eventually moved my way up as director.
In my spare time, I like to relax and catch up on things at home, just spend time to myself.
One thing you should know about me is I'm always available, I rarely make my own plans. I'm very big on communicating and trust.
I am cor certified, have over 100 training hours in child development and have my director's certification.
