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’ve been working with children for well over 20 years, starting in daycare centers and as a nanny before running my own in-home daycare. I’ve worked with all ages, but I really enjoy infants and toddlers and building those early connections with them. I’m very patient, reliable, and flexible, and I try to bring a calm, positive energy into everything I do. I love creating a safe, structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Jasmine. I’ve been in childcare and babysitting since a young age. I attended Webster Groves High School and graduated class of 2020. I have always been computer savvy, outgoing, very active and hands on type of person. I’m friendly but shy at times. I’ve had great experiences on my previous jobs meeting people, gaining knowledge and good friendships.
In my previous job, Site Leader at Webster Groves Adventure Club I really enjoyed working with my students doing fun age-appropriate activities and supervising staff.
In my current position I get to continue working with children but as a lead teacher in an infant/toddler classroom. These connections with children maybe a little more personal because of the care and age. I enjoy learning the children’s funny personalities and bonding with them and their families as they developed, learn and grow. Also, CPR certified.
