Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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.

My name is Nakia, and I’ve always loved caring for others especially children. I’m an auntie of four (three nephews and a 2-year-old niece) and have been hands-on in helping raise them since birth, so I’m very comfortable with babies and kids of all ages.

I’m passionate about healthcare and am currently pursuing my Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certification at
Arizona state university I’ve also worked at a retirement home serving seniors, which strengthened my communication, and ability to maintain a clean and structured environment.
