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
Hey! My name is Carmen & I'm a 24 yr/old EMT student. I am CPR/AED certified & I can provide a copy of an extensive background check upon request. I also have recommendations on the Bambino app, now onto the good stuff. I love kids of all ages, I've sat for babies as young as 2 weeks old up to 12 y/o twins. I'm a very active sitter so I love interacting with the kids or helping them with chores/homework. I really enjoy cooking so I definitely wouldn't mind preparing meals for the family, that'd be one less thing you have to worry about. I also love animals so you can count on me to take great care of your fur babies as well. I hope to meet you all very soon.
With gratitude,
Carmen Stafford.

"I needed a little help getting ready to go back to work from maternity leave. As a single mom, finding and trusting someone with my kids was a bit daunting at first but honestly, Miss Kensley made my transition back to work so smooth. She even helped me get them situated with school and daycare until my sister came into town. (Ps, she never asks for anything, so please treat her well) Blessings."
