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
Hi! My name is Gina, I’m 23 years old and a mom to a wonderful 2-year-old son. I’m currently looking for a nanny position and would love the opportunity to help care for your child/children. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and very experienced with toddlers and daily routines.
I’m comfortable with meal prep, playtime, light cleaning related to the children, naps, and keeping a safe, loving environment. Ideally, I’m looking for a family that would be comfortable with me bringing my son along, as he’s very friendly and used to being around other children.
I’d love to speak more and see if we’d be a good fit for each other. Thank you for your time!
