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 absolutely love working with kids! My first ever job was a daycare worker in a church at 15. I handled children ranging from newborns to 12 year olds. I worked as a gym daycare worker ages ranging from 1-12 when I was 17. In between I would babysit friends and families kids as a favor. I currently have a 2 month old daughter. I am looking for a wonderful family who is willing to help me build my babysitting resume further and allow me to bring my daughter with me!
