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 families! My name is Annabelle, and I’m 22 years old. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Children & Adolescent Studies while also competing as a collegiate water polo player. Through both academics and athletics, I’ve learned the value of patience, responsibility, and teamwork—all of which I bring into my childcare.
I have experience caring for children of different ages and love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping little ones active, or planning creative activities like crafts and games, I enjoy making each day engaging.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable care that gives you peace of mind. Looking forward to connecting! 🌟
