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

Hi! I am a college student at FAU and will be home for the summer! I am a substitute teacher while at school and have been babysitting since high school so I am around kids constantly. I have a pretty flexible schedule but I do only have one extra seat in my car so if driving is needed I can only transport one child in my own vehicle.

A little bit about me

I've been passionate about working with children & infants for as long as I can remember... Since having my youngest and returning to the workplace, I've been working in a learning center setting. I have recently moved to the Valrico area and took my courses to receive my CDA. I have been CPR certified for over a decade (renewed every 2 years). I'm comfortable with animals and doing any housework. I have reliable transportation and a perfect driving record! I'm experienced in working with special needs children and know a vast majority of basic ASL for any nonverbal children. I'm blessed with having a lot of energy and I live a very active lifestyle- helps me keep up with kids of all energy levels!

In my spare time, I like to garden, take my kids to the beach or park and just spending time outdoors. I was in theater in high school- so I love singing and dancing. I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes!

I have personal and professional references that I'm happy to provide!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Daniella!
I’m a 22-year-old college student currently completing my prerequisites to pursue nursing school. I have a genuine love for working with children that comes from growing up in a large family of 6 kids, where I took on a big sister role helping to raise my twin little brother and sister.
My experience includes working as a patient care technician in a hospital setting and caring for infants at a local daycare, which has given me hands-on experience with children of all ages. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment while keeping kids engaged and happy.
I’m knowledgeable in basic first aid and CPR, and I bring a calm, caring approach to childcare. I have reliable transportation and flexible scheduling to accommodate your family’s needs.
I believe every child is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply playing and having fun.
