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 a 19-year-old college student from Virginia State University, and I'm actively seeking a summer job where I can genuinely make a difference. I understand that many families are facing challenges right now, and I'm eager to offer my support wherever it's needed most.
I'm incredibly versatile and can assist with a wide range of tasks. Whether it's helping with household chores like cooking and cleaning, or providing engaging childcare, I'm ready to step in. I absolutely love spending time with kids – I'm very down-to-earth, enjoy playing with them, and am happy to be active outdoors or just hang out and chill. My rates are flexible and can be discussed, and I'm more than happy to meet with you and your children beforehand to ensure a comfortable and positive fit.
