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.

"Ariana was great with my kid. She would help keep her busy so I could do my work. She helped her read and with her homework. Adriana was one of the people I trusted the most. Even when moving my little one was sad. Would most definitely have her again if she wasn’t so far from us now"

A little bit about me

Hello,
I am currently 20 years old. I am a childhood cancer survivor & . At Roughly 13, I began babysitting for family members and friends. As I got older my love for children got stronger. My mother and I fostered when I was 14. Over the last 2 years I've volunteered at preschools and daycare's. Last year I was a temporary caregiver for a elementary student. Ever since I could remember I've loved working with kids and creating beautiful memories and giving them the necessary morals that they will carry with them to their adulthood.
