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

My mission as a nanny is to provide compassionate, dependable, Christ-centered care for the whole family. I believe every child is a precious gift from God and deserves to feel safe, loved, encouraged, and valued.

I am also passionate about supporting postpartum mothers. Pregnancy and childbirth can take an enormous toll on a woman physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I believe caring for Mom is an important part of caring for her baby. In addition to nurturing newborn and sibling care, I am available to support Mom directly—preparing nourishing meals, helping with light household needs, encouraging rest and recovery, and simply being a compassionate, supportive presence.

My goal is to lighten the family’s load and create a peaceful, nurturing environment where Mom, baby, and the entire family feel genuinely cared for and supported.

Hello! My name is Bree and I am an 18-year-old recent high school graduate with a love for working with children. I am energetic, responsible, patient, and love to help kids feel safe and supported in any environment. I have experience in babysitting and working with children at church programs and I am comfortable in bedtime routines, homework, transportation, light housekeeping, pet care and keeping kids happy and active instead of just screen time. I have taken multiple babysitting classes, and am both CPR and First-Aid certified.

I am currently working part time as I prepare for college, with hopes to pursue education in Pediatric Nursing. I value communication and seek to show my capabilities and dependancy to be a person that parents and their kids can trust. I'd love the opportunity to support and build a wonderful relationship with you and your family!
