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 love being a sitter, cause helping and caring for children is such a joy! I've been told by many family members, friends, and neighbors, who have all said I'm a baby/child whisperer. What can I say, I'm great with kids!
As for experience, I've watched on multiple times my 6 younger cousins, my little brother/neighbor who is autistic, and have experience with helping around the house as well!
My skills would be, able to work well with children and being able to understand both sides of any given scenario, both from the children's perspective and from the parent's perspective. I can do laundry as well as fold it. I'm skilled in deescalating problems, with problem solving skills!
