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 have babysat for friends, neighbors, and family since I was 11 or 12. I am a rising senior in highschool and also enrolled in college classes. I am a soccer player so I am very active and love playing games. I love working with kids, I have four siblings of my own so I have learned well. I value more of the interactive side of babysitting and prefer to be on a semi personal level with the kids so that they trust and respect me. I also value communication, between me and the parents and the children, this is the only way we can get to know each other and make things work.
