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

Mary Poppins meets Ms Frizzle…former elementary school educator and youth development program manager looking for some littles to love.
I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education and youth sports; from preschool through 5th grade.
When my kids were little I was “Mom” to all their friends. Now that all of my kiddos have grown up I am “Lovey” to the next generation.
I am semi-retired but not ready to spend my days in a rocking chair just yet; unless it’s rocking a little one while reading them a story or singing a lullaby.
My education specialty was reading and math remediation. I have a background in theater and storytelling.
I have a drivers license, clean driving record, and a very dependable SUV. I can help with before and after school drop off and pickup, with homework and running errands etc…willing to discuss light housework options.
I would love a chance to meet your family and see how I can become a part of your village. 🥰
