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

Hi! My name is Kerra, and I’ve been working with children for several years both professionally and personally. Growing up as the middle child in a large family, I naturally took on a caregiving role—helping raise my younger siblings and even supporting my older ones when needed. That early experience helped me build strong instincts in nurturing, problem-solving, and maintaining a fun, structured environment. I’m known for my high energy, positive attitude, and the genuine connection I build with kids—something that seems to come naturally. I believe in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I’d love the opportunity to bring that energy and care into your home I am currently a college student studying medicine and I’m 20 years old

A little bit about me

My name is Sarah, I am the training director at The Son's Children Learning Center. I have been working there for 10 yrs, and working in the childcare feild for over 17 yrs. I have many ECE credits, certificates, first AID & CPR, fingerprint clearance card, and so much. I have so much patience and love growing small minds. As a director I work more with the teacher than the kids and I really miss working with the kids. I am looking for part time work either evenings or weekends. I myself have 2 children, a 14 yr old boy and a 20 yr old girl that both live with me. Im starting to realize that my kids are truly growing up and on their way to being adults soon. I have also realized that I miss the baby and toddler stage a lot, and find myself hanging out in the infantroom from time to time. Im not sure what else you may need or want to know but I am a open book, just ask me anything. Thank you, Sarah
