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’m a loving, caring, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. I have 5 years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my sister’s two daughters. During that time, I helped with their daily routines, meals, activities, and making sure they always felt safe, loved, and cared for. My sister eventually hired a full-time nanny, and the girls started school, so my help was no longer needed. I am patient, dependable, and love creating a fun and positive environment for children. Although I am not currently CPR or First Aid certified, I am more than willing to get both certifications because children’s safety and well-being are extremely important to me. I would love the opportunity to become part of your family’s routine and provide a safe, loving, and supportive environment for your little ones. I truly believe children deserve to feel loved, understood, and cared for, and I would treat your children with the same love and attention I give my own family!

I am a certified teacher looking to make the switch from the classroom to full time nanny. I absolutely adore children and watching their curious minds take them on adventures. I love nature, animals, and spending time with the ones I love. I have many years of experience being a nanny and four years of experience being a classroom teacher. I really like to focus heavily on emotional intelligence and communication skills with the children I work with. I am flexible and very understanding! I am seeking to grow with the families and children I get the privilege of working with!

"Katlyn is absolutely amazing! She is always my go-to when I need someone to watch my babies, whether it’s for a night or an entire week while we’re out of town. She jumps right in whenever needed and consistently goes above and beyond. Not only does she take incredible care of the kids, but she also keeps them engaged with crafts and fun activities. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they are safe and well cared for with her. On top of that, I come home to a spotless, organized house—even when all I asked was for her to watch the kids! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring nanny, Katlyn is the best choice. You won’t be disappointed!"

A little bit about me
Hello. My name is Kristina. I was a stay-at-home mom of four for 20+ years. Eight of those years I successfully ran a child care business in my home, where I typically had six children, ages three months to 3.5 years. After I closed my doors I stayed in the business nannying. I like working with children, giving them the space to learn, and a safe and secure environment for them to cultivate a strong sense of self, and confidence, and continuity. My skills include creating a good relationship with children so they feel safe, engaging with them to help them learn and grow, and keeping good communication with parents. I earned a BA in Psychology, with an emphasis on early childhood development, in 2010. This along with personal and professional experiences have provided me knowledge and practice working with children and parents, and a strong understanding of family dynamics. I enjoy gardening, walking, hiking, riding bike, reading, and anything nature.
