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 Gianna (Gigi). I have 8 years of childcare experience in different settings. I started babysitting my neighbors at age 14 and from there my passion for working with children blossomed. I went on to work in a child care center and as nanny for a few different families. I received my Undergraduate in Early Childhood Education and am currently enrolled in Bay Path University's Masters of Occupational Therapy program. As a teacher/child care provider, I follow practices of Dr. Maria Montessori. I believe children learn through play/work, in nature, and with empathy from caregivers. I believe in teaching independence and providing a warm, loving environment for children to flourish. I am open to PT positions(20-30hours/week), light cleaning and housekeeping, and meal preparation. I am flexible with hours and pay. I love all age groups, but especially love working with children 0-3. If you have any questions for me, please feel free reach out. I can’t wait to meet your little ones!
