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’m a dedicated nurse with a strong passion for providing compassionate, patient-centered care. My natural empathy and commitment to helping others have always been at the heart of my work. As a mother, I bring a personal understanding of children's needs, emotions, and behaviors, which has greatly enhanced my ability to connect with young patients and support families through both routine and challenging situations. I believe that every patient deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, and I strive to create a comforting environment where people feel safe and cared for. My experiences both professionally and as a parent have shaped me into someone who is patient, nurturing, and deeply committed to the well-being of others.
