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 Marley Pratt and I’m currently a student at Gwinnett Technical College, studying early childhood education. I have been caring for children since I can remember! Not only because I started babysitting at 12, but I’m also the eldest child of three. I believe it is important to care for others, empathy is essential these days! Children deserve someone who will not only take care of their basic needs, but someone who’s willing to show up and show them love, kindness, and compassion. I want to create a more kind and loving world, one child at a time. I also had a background check done recently through my current employer. Please contact me if you need my resume, references, or have any questions. Thank you!
