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 Carlita! I am 27 years young and a mother to a soon to be 6 year. I have been babysitting family members since I was around 10/11 and I was a nanny to an old boss of mine for 4 years and also cleaned and organized for her. I am currently seeking a cpr/first aid certification to be more prepared. I drive and have never been in a car accident and I have a clean record. I am a very nurturing and loving person and I absolutely adore children so I figured i’d try to find a nanny job throughout the rest of my pregnancy. I would love to be able to bring my son with me but it is not required. I look forward to working with a family soon!
