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, I’m 25 years old and growing up always had a special bond with my own babysitter who I looked up to. I try to carry her loving, kind, and patient influence into my work as a nanny myself everyday. My childcare experience expands from 3 weeks up to 12 years old of both boys and girls. I love all things with kids from hide and seek to arts and craft or just enjoying the sweet baby cuddles nothing brings me more joy. I have been a permanent baby sitter/nanny for the past 9 years and have worked with multiple families and enjoyed every moment. I hope that in my time with your family I am able to leave a lasting positive impact.
