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

My name is Takori, I’m 22 years old, I love animals, nature, the color pink and I’ve always had a passion for caring for & teaching young children. I worked at an elementary school camp every summer since I graduated 8th grade. After high school, I went on to pursue an Elementary Education degree at NCA&T. I still attend, but after taking and passing both Praxis exams I decided on changing my major before getting licensed. I still have a deep passion for being a great influence on the future generations, however I wanted a degree that was more versatile. Although a lot of my experience is with grade school children, I have had previous babysitting gigs caring for infants & toddlers. My grandmother owns a daycare in Charlotte, NC, where I am from, & I have also helped out with children enrolled there in the past.

My name is Christina and I am 21 years old, and I have been working with babies and kids since I was a teenager. I can cook and make bottles. I’m not scared of a little spit up or dirty diaper. I’ve potty trained toddlers between the ages of 18 months and 2 years old. I love playing and reading with the kids. I don’t think a child should have a screen in their face all day so i love taking walks or just playing outside.
