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 Danae, and I’m a very patient, calm, energetic, and reliable caregiver with experience working with children from toddlers through high schoolers. My childcare journey started with caring for my own siblings, then cousins, and eventually coaches’ kids, which led to consistent referrals through word of mouth.

I believe every child is different, so I adapt my care style to fit each child’s personality, needs, and emotional cues, while still maintaining structure and consistency. If a routine is already in place, I’m very comfortable following it closely to keep things familiar and smooth for both the kids and parents.

While I’m not specifically seeking a live-in nanny position, I’m able to work with the same level of commitment, flexibility, and availability as a live-in nanny. I’m dependable, communicate clearly, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I also bring a good sense of humor and positive energy, which helps kids feel comfortable and supported.
