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.

Hi! My name is Kayce, and caring for children has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and able to grow. I have experience caring for infants, elementary-aged children, and middle schoolers.

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.
