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.

Hi! My name is Diana. I am 29 years old. I have never been paid as a nanny before, but I have cared for a lot of children from neighbors, nephews and neices back in my home country. I adore kids. I am dependable and keen. I know children can turn a house upside down, or make you an olympic athlete sometimes. I like cleaning. I can cook, but not much on American dishes. I am always willing to learn.
