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 study online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to fully focus on my work without it interfering with my availability.
I have cared for three different families. I looked after twin babies from the time they were 7 months old until they were 1 year and 4 months old. I also cared for two siblings, ages 7 and 8, and during the summer I took care of a little boy from age 4 to 5.
In addition to my professional experience, I have a 6-year-old sister, and I’ve been helping my mom take care of her since she was born. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for children.
I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and feel comfortable. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, attentive care for your children.

A little bit about me
I'm bilingual in Swahili and English, which means I can naturally introduce children to a beautiful African language while communicating confidently with your family every day. Growing up in Kenya gave me a deeply rooted, nurturing approach to child-rearing — one shaped by community, storytelling, warmth, and genuine love for children.
I bring a mix of formal and informal childcare experience — from caring for younger siblings and neighbors' children to working in structured environments. I'm calm under pressure, emotionally mature, and truly believe that every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
I'm seeking a full-time nanny role with a family where I can grow, contribute meaningfully, and share a little of Kenya with your home.
