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
Aloha! I am a single 26 year old woman with 8 years of teaching experience for ages 0-5 years old and 12 years of experience with watching children from either nannying or babysitting. I studied child development at Florida State University with specifications in child psychology and cognitive development. I absolutely adore children, especially babies, but love children of all ages. I am currently looking to move to Maui and would love to continue helping families by nannying! With that said, I would love to be a live in nanny as housing on Maui is hard to find. I am currently a flight attendant on the mainland and I would love to still have this career and would only ask to have 5-6 days (could also be less depending on the month) to where I can work trips.

A little bit about me
My name is Allison and I’ve been a babysitting/nannying for families on and off for over 10 years. My fiancé and I just relocated to Hawaii and I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I am hoping to find a family to help with their needs, as I absolutely love children and have been very fortunate to care for children from infant to grade school. I also have my BSN so my background in Nursing is always a plus when it comes to children’s safety and knowing how to handle emergency situations should they arise.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Savannah. I am a very outgoing person and love kids. I currently am a sub for all grades in the district I live in. I have babysat kids since I was 14 years old and have had side cleaning jobs. As a person who works a lot with kids it has giving me a chance to learn patience and flexibility. Lastly, I think it is very important to create a relationship and acting as if I was a friend but still making sure the kids know that I am in charge and creating that specific boundary.
