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

Great! Here is the revised paragraph again, ready for you to copy and paste:
Dear Family, My name is Misty, and I'm a natural caregiver with a passion for working with children. There's something truly special about witnessing those "aha" moments when they grasp new concepts. I have experience raising three successful sons and have also been involved in caring for my cousin and her two boys. Additionally, I spent two wonderful years as a nanny in Austria, looking after a delightful little boy in the very palace where "The Sound of Music" was filmed. I genuinely enjoy being around people and find fulfillment in helping others. I find immense joy in helping raise productive, polite, healthy, happy, and confident children. I'd love to get to know your family and see if we're a good fit. If we aren't, I wish you all the best in your search. But if we are, I promise to love and care for your children as if they were my own.

A little bit about me

I’ve grown up as a big sister most of my life and It brings me so much joy.
Since I’ve moved out I’ve missed the sense of family and thought that nannying would be a great fit for me. My little brother has autism so I’ve spent several years working closely with him, as well as being CPR Certified, and being the youth leader at my church during high school. I love going on hikes, knitting and cooking.
