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

Hello! My name is Liz and I love working and caring for children. I love to play and allow them to see me as fun. At the same time, I like to set schedules and habits in our routines to create predictability. I like to read, play music, dance and allow for creative play. Also, love creating cozy time to allow children to relax and chill as needed. I do love keeping their surroundings organized, clean and tidy. Happy to help with laundry and other ways to help keep your home organized. If at the appropriate age, I love going out to local libraries to discover great books, socialize, participate in any librarian led classes. I find playgrounds and petting zoos excellent places for learning and exploring the world. Overall, I really find it meaningful to watch children grow and develop skills. I like to participate in helping them grow their cognitive, fine/motor skills, verbal skills and social skills. This is meaningful work and I take pride in being able to support a family’s needs.
