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.

A little bit about me

I come from a large family, so caring for children has always felt very natural to me. I have over 5 years of childcare experience caring for infants through preteens. For 4 of those years, I was a nanny for a wonderful family with 5 children. I love being outdoors. In the summer, that looks like swimming, early morning walks, or evening pickleball/volleyball with friends! In my free time, I love attending workout classes or going up north to beat the heat!
I enjoy cooking, baking sourdough, and learning new skills in the kitchen.
I love bringing my interests into my work and creating a fun, positive environment for the children I care for.
