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, my name is Betsy! I'm a happy, cheerful, caring dependable person with many years of childcare experience. I started helping my mom with my siblings and later cared for 14 of my nieces and nephews. I've also had the opportunity to babysit for family friends, which has helped me become more comfortable caring for children outside of my immediate family. I enjoy getting to know each child's personality, keeping them engaged with fun activities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly love working with children and would be happy to provide families with reliable, loving, and trustworthy childcare. I look forward to bringing positive attitude, lots of smiles, and cheerful energy to your family!

"Betsy has been such an amazing help to count on when my family has needed it. She has helped us since we had our first son 7years ago now(she started mostly when I went back to work), always respectful of our wishes with snacks, activities, what to watch, etc. We have 2 boys now(3&7), they both always get super excited when they know they will spend the day with Betsy. She has done it all with them, even school drop off or pick up with my oldest. She will always be someone we can trust with our boys!!"
