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 Alashia! I’m from Columbia, South Carolina. I am an army wife. I have a one year old toddler. I have always loved kids but becoming a mother has helped me learn how to care for kids in many different ways. For example, doctors and occupational therapists have shown me how to help my son meet his milestones as a toddler. This experience has also shown me how to develop a greater sense of compassion and empathy for mothers. While motherhood can rewarding and a blessing, it’s also pretty challenging. I would love to assist families where they need it the most in a part time position if I can.
