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

My name is Jenna, I am 30 years old and for the past 2 years I have been a full time nanny. I absolutely adore caring for the kiddos! Watching them learn and grow and taking part in teaching them and setting a good example is a privilege to me. I have been babysitting children aged 1 and up for 15 years, however I do have experience with infants that are 3 months-1 year. My most recent experience is coming from a nanny share with two 2 year olds- I love the toddler stage! I earned my Bachelor's degree from CSU in 2018. With safety being my first priority, I am also attentive, loving, fun and reliable. Hobbies include skiing, hiking, traveling when I am able to, quality time with family and friends. Currently seeking a full time nanny position for one family or multiple in a nanny-share.
