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

I’m 23 years old and have been working with children since 2022. I’m infant and toddler certified through the state of Maryland and CPR certified. I currently work at The Goddard School in Arnold, MD, where I care for infants and toddlers every day — helping them learn, grow, and reach their little milestones along the way.

Working with children has truly become my passion. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can explore, be curious, and feel loved. Watching their personalities bloom is one of my favorite parts of what I do!

I’m also pursuing a career in elementary education because I love helping children learn and develop from their earliest years. In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, and continuing to learn more about child development.

I’d love the chance to bring my care, patience, and positive energy to your family! 💛

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kaliyah, a 22-year-old caregiver with a lifelong love for working with kids. As 1 of 7 siblings, I learned early how to balance personalities, solve problems, and keep life fun. For the past three summers, I’ve been a sleep-away camp counselor, leading activities, supporting kids through challenges, and making each day memorable. I’m currently an Interior Design major but considering a switch to childcare because it’s where my passion truly lies. I bring creativity, patience, and reliability to every role; whether organizing enriching activities, helping with homework, or making travel with kids smooth and enjoyable. My goal is to create a safe, joyful, and inspiring environment where your children can thrive. I am also cpr/first aid certified as well as a fully licensed driver.
