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! I am a Denver native and certified teacher passionate about nurturing each child to reach their fullest potential. I have 12+ years experience in caring for children of all ages and about 3 years of serious, single-family nannying, primarily for infants/toddlers. I'm a former classroom teacher & am happy to do tutoring/homework help. Open to children with medical or special needs, travel, flexible hours, and pets of all kinds.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, doing crafts, and playing endless fetch with my dog. I speak Hebrew and some Arabic, and enjoy dabbling in other languages as well!

In the Nanny Olympics, my events would be the one-handed diaper change, synchronized snack time, and the "read it again" marathon.
