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.

"OUR MOST WONDERFUL NANNY IS AVAILABLE FOR A NEW FAMILY Our beloved nanny, Maria, is looking for a new full-time family! She was with us for almost five years until both of our kids were in preschool. She was instrumental in the raising of our kids from infants to toddlers, and we learned tons from her when we were new parents with our sealessly started taking to rest our infant and created just as special of a bond as with our first. She has decades of childcare experience. She values outdoor play and makes sure the park is a big part of everyday that weather permits. Through this, she has also equipped each of our kids with their own little park friend that I am sure will be lifelong friends. She is punctual, rarely calls in sick and has no reservations caring for our kids when they are sick. She is trustworthy, reliable and a genuinely kind person who will love your child/children as her own. I am truly gutted that she will no longer be part of our day to day!"
