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

Well, I’ve always loved working with kids. I actually grew up in a daycare environment where I helped out with younger children from around age nine all the way through my teens. As I got older, people started trusting me to babysit on my own and even paid me for it. Those experiences really taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep kids both safe and entertained. I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn new things and feel cared for, and that’s what made me interested in becoming a nanny.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jasmine, I’m a young college student who has always had a passion for caregiving. Since I was a teenager, I always babysat for my neighbors and friends, and other members of my community, as people could easily tell I am good with kids. I have volunteered as a summer youth mentor for two years, and been an assistant teacher in a daycare as well. However, I would like to launch into being a nanny for a family full-time instead. I am interested in being a caregiver because I want to make a positive impact on the children I care for, as my old babysitter did for me. I want to foster a warm, welcoming, supportive environment for them to thrive in. Let me help you make that happen.
