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'm patient, dependable, and organized, and I take pride in making sure kids feel safe, happy, and included. I have a positive attitude, communicate well with both children and parents, and I'm always willing to help with things like homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light household tasks.
I believe babysitting is about more than just supervising—it's about creating a fun, memorable, and safe environment where kids can have a great time while parents have peace of mind. I always strive to be someone children look forward to seeing and someone parents can trust.
