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 am currently a graduate student in psychology, building on a strong foundation from my undergraduate studies, where I concentrated on adolescent development. I also have four years of hands-on childcare experience gained while working under my mother, who has been in the childcare field for many years. Children have always been a true passion of mine, and my academic background combined with real-world experience has shaped me into someone who cares deeply about supporting their growth, learning, and emotional well-being.

If I had to describe myself in a few words, I would say I am patient, compassionate, reliable, and deeply dedicated.
