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 pride myself in being a safe, reliable & nurturing place for the children that I watch. I have dedicated myself to becoming the best caretaker I can possibly be through experience & baby sitting certification classes. I will make sure to fill every minute of their day with activities to strengthen their mental/emotional/physical/spiritual health and maturity with a curriculum approved by you first. I will ❤️ them like they are my own.
I also clean up & make sure you have a clean house after a long day of work. I have no problem with pets & love your fur babies too! (Long or short term care is fine!)

Outside of childcare, I’m very passionate about fitness, wellness, healthy eating, and holistic living. I enjoy staying active, preparing nourishing meals, spending time outdoors, and learning about overall health and wellness. I love connecting what I’m learning through my healthcare and Kinesiology education with everyday life in a practical, age-appropriate way encouraging movement, healthy routines, nutritious meals, and a positive relationship with wellness.
