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
My name is Andriana. I’m a wife and mother of two children, a 7.5-year-old boy and a 5.5-year-old girl. In addition to taking care of my own children and many family members, I worked as a nanny in Europe and as a daycare teacher in the US.
After witnessing the inadequate attention children receive and the limited learning opportunities provided by daycares, I’ve decided to become a nanny and offer better care to at least one family. I try not to do svreen time, but when doing it, it’s educational. I also love crafts, building, painting and drawing, outdoor play, ensuring that our children learn while having fun.
I can provide my services either at my home (which is pet-friendly) or at your place.
