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 London, I'm a 26 year old who's wanting to get back into childcare. I've been living in Georgia for the past 6 years and I'm also currently in nursing school to become an L&D nurse.

A little bit about me

I have always had a natural love for working with children. I danced for 8 years, and during that time I often helped teach the toddler girls, which gave me experience with patience, encouragement, and keeping little ones engaged. My relatives have always trusted me to babysit their babies and young children, which I take as a big compliment to my responsibility and care.
