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! My name is America Sorenson. I’m 27 years old, married, and a mom to two sweet, energetic boys (ages 2 and almost 4).

We recently made the exciting move from Utah to Georgia, driving across the country so my husband could attend Emory University’s PA program.

I’m looking to welcome one additional child into our home to provide a loving, safe, and engaging environment alongside my boys. I truly enjoy being home with children.

As an experienced mom, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a fun, nurturing atmosphere where kids can learn, play, and thrive. I’m hoping to find a wonderful family that’s a great fit for all of us!

If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to connect and answer any questions!
