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 Kaitlyn and I have had 10+ years of personal and professional experience working in childcare. I have worked with ages 0mon-92-years-old! I am certified in CPR, am trained in meal prepping/infant feedings, caretaking, and emotional support. I have obtained my graduate degree in criminal justice and work full time during the day in that career field. I believe it is important for children to be safe and feel emotionally cared for by their caretaker therefore making you as a parent feel assured your child/ infant is receiving proper care and love. I always like to meet the parents and child before I begin so that we can get to know each other and discuss you and your baby’s expectations and specific care instructions so clear communication is established and you can have peace of mind.
