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.

My most recent role was working as a professional family doula, where I provided overnight infant care and postpartum support for families. My experience includes feeding routines, soothing techniques, diaper changes, sleep support, breastmilk preparation and storage, bottle prep, skin-to-skin support, and lactation education. I also previously worked as a Program Assistant, where I helped students with homework, academics, enrichment activities, and STEM learning. In addition, I assist families with meal prepping, children’s laundry, transportation, and maintaining smooth daily routines.
Families would describe me as patient, dependable, nurturing, and trustworthy.
