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.

Hi! My name is Cambell, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently pursuing a degree in engineering at Weber State University and I work as a teacher at a dance studio, where I’ve discovered how much I truly love working with kids!

I like to keep myself busy but in my free time I enjoy dancing, skiing, creating art, playing guitar, reading a good book, and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also love animals and am happy to care for any pets that are part of your family!

I’m patient, caring, and reliable, and I’m excited to provide a safe and positive environment where children can play and grow.
