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.

my name is Kennedy. I’m 17 years old and currently in 11th grade taking AP and honors classes, so I’m really responsible and used to managing my time well. I grew up with younger siblings, so I’ve always been around kids and helping take care of them—whether that’s watching them, keeping them entertained, or helping with routines. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and handle different situations calmly. I really enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and have a good time. I’m also dependable and can help with things like homework, meals, and keeping things organi
