Tips to find a great live-in nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best live-in nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced live-in 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 live-in 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 Marti. I am 24 years old, I have a bachelor’s of science in psychology from Northern Arizona University. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in elementary education. I have worked as a second grade teacher’s aide at a private school for 2 years. I have an FBI fingerprint clearance card. I am also a certified substitute teacher in the state of Arizona. I love caring for and teaching children. I love fostering their creativity and growth. I believe a child’s imagination is very important and powerful, and I encourage joy and whimsy in the lives of the children I work with.
*I am not available to start until after May 22nd, as that is the last day of the school year (which means my teacher’s aide job is no longer going on)

A little bit about me
Hello my name is Valerie! I am a 20 year old fiancé that soon wants to start having my own family. I would love to learn how to take care of a baby. I am a fast learner. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home that I love. I have my driver’s license, but I don’t like driving long distances. I worked in office jobs for almost 3 years and now want to be on my toes, up and going. I want to become a nanny to prepare myself for my own kids one day. I am open to learning how to take care of your baby the way you would like me to. I am a very clean person and always make sure to keep my surroundings clean. I am not the best cook but is willing to learn if needed. I am a little antisocial and shy but when you get to know me I am a nice person. Thank you so much for your time and have a wonderful day!

If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am nurturing, responsible, thoughtful, outgoing, and compassionate. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include physical activity, reading, arts and crafts, and lots of love and attention!
