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.

A little bit about me
Hi lovely families!
I’m a dual citizen who relocated from Canada to work for a private, high-profile family, where I’ve spent the last two years caring for their young child. Prior to that, I gained extensive childcare experience working with children of all ages.
I pride myself on being nurturing, loving, dependable, and creating a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive and families feel at ease. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is something I value deeply.
I would love the opportunity to bring that same level of care, dedication, and support to your family. I look forward to connecting with you!

A little bit about me
I am the mother of a 15-year-old girl and currently expecting a baby boy. I truly enjoy spending time with children and believe that childhood is one of the most precious stages a family should nurture and protect. Just as I value the important role of a nanny, it brings me joy to be part of a child’s growth and development.
Although I don’t have formal experience as a nanny, I worked as a regional manager in the IT industry for 10 years and recently chose to step back from that career to focus on my family. My desire to work as a nanny comes from a genuine passion for supporting parents in raising their children and creating a loving, attentive, and respectful environment for them.
My English is not fluent yet, and I would love to be in daily contact with people to keep improving it through conversation. I’m eager to learn and communicate the best I can while building a caring connection with the children and families I work with.
