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.

I have 4 children of my own. 13, 11, 8 and 6. I am currently back to babysitting. I used to babysit kiddos for years. I enjoy kiddos. They keep me busy and it’s always a good time. My favorite hobbies are anything outdoor related. I am from little Colorado but moved here to Indiana in my teen years. I am married. I have a dog his name is Koda. He’s my big ole fluffy baby. I also have 3 snakes. Yes snakes. Haha I love my snakes. They are ball pythons. Sweetest babies ever. If you have anymore questions about me feel free to message me!
