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.

Hello there, my name is Paige i grew up in North Carolina and am now residing in the sunny state of. Florida. I have a sister that is 11 years younger than me and grew up helping raise her, so i'm great with all ages. When I was of age to finally earn money I started s a nanny for a wonderful family in NC after graduating i moved to South Florida for school, I found another family that I worked with for a year. After a year I decided to more to Thailand to teach english I taught for a year and it was the most rewarding thing I could have ever done. once the year was complete, I made my way back to Florida. Traveling is a passion of mine, and when returning I was fortunate to get a job as an international flight attendant for the past three years. I'm responsible, hardworking, and great with kids.
