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 have five years of nanny experience caring for three children while their mother worked. During that time, I also provided support to their mother throughout her pregnancy. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a preschool/daycare, where I gained experience working with young children in a structured environment.
My education in Family Science has also given me a strong understanding of child development, family relationships and positive parenting practices. I enjoy creating a safe, fun and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported and cared for. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family!

A little bit about me
I am 20 years old! I have 4 years of CNA and MedTech experience under my belt. I LOVE geriatric care, and want to be a nurse! However, I am needing a break right now from the heavy side of geriatrics. I am looking to continue caregiving in a new light! My mother nannied all throughout my childhood and time living at home - oftentimes me and my sisters were her sidekicks!
I’d love to nanny young children and infants. I am looking for a long term family to be involved with! Can’t wait to meet you!
