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 have been working with children since I was 15 Years old because I love taking care of my sibling and nephews. In my country (Ecuador) I have had my sister's friends calling me to take care of their babies since I seem to have afinity with them at first touch. I have estudied medicine, psychology and first aid at university there on Ecuador until I came here to the US but always love to teach and take care of little ones. I have based my nanny visits as an oportunity to teach a bit of any language such as french, english, spanglish, Maths and arts. I feel I am responsible and creative enough to be part of the elite nannies group.
