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!
I’m Laura Ramirez, a recent graduate from Central Washington University with over five years of experience working with children in both paid and volunteer roles throughout Seattle. My background includes serving as a language and academic tutor and working as a nanny for children aged 4 to 10. I am deeply enthusiastic about child care and take great joy in supporting children as they explore the world and develop their abilities. My recent experience as a traveling nanny was incredibly rewarding and allowed me to further my passion for nurturing children's growth. Additionally, I volunteer at a Christian ministry, where I assist and teach children aged 4 to 8. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my dedication and joy to your family and little ones!
It’s beyond lovely to meet you!

She has consistently gone above and beyond in her role, ensuring that our children are always safe, happy, and engaged in fun activities. One of the qualities that sets Laura apart is her ability to create a structured yet fun environment. Laura also handled our kids daily routines, including meal preparation, nap times, and school pickups, with great efficiency and care. In addition to her professional abilities, Laura has a warm and friendly personality, which made her a wonderful presence in our home. Our children grew very attached to Laura and we will always be grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family. I have no doubt that she will bring the same level of care and dedication to her next family.I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to any family in need of a loving and capable nanny. Sincerely, Lucy"
