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

Hello!! My name is Ashley and I am currently a graduate student living in Brunswick. I've always had a consistent full time nanny family and I'm looking for a new one. I absolutely love working with children. My favorite part of this job is helping them explore the world and watching them learn new things. I'm someone who will love your child like you do so being close with the family is important to me. Ive worked privately, in a professional setting, and in volunteer settings with children. I have experience with all ages from 3 months old to 15 years old. I do have a soft spot for 9 months- 20 months though, as I love watching these little humans experience this stage! I can start right away! If you feel as thought I'd be a good match for your family, don't hesitate to reach out, I'd be so happy to meet you!!
