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.

I’m Kyndle Caldwell!✨🩵🦋 I am a very nurturing, patient, loving, and calm spirited person! I am my happiest when I am caring for children, other people, and animals!✨After my experience in a couple different childcare centers I decided I want to offer my own childcare services that align with the childrens needs!!! I learned that children need more one on one attention and focus to help them thrive and get all that they need.I find it important to also include consistent time for outdoor and active play since children learn best through experience at this age!

I really enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them entertained. I believe children are incredibly special and interesting individuals. I like to be creative and help kids learn in fun ways.

Recent reference

"Aniya has been watching our kiddos since 2019 and she’s our first call when we need a sitter. She is awesome with our boys and truly cares about making sure they have a good time while we’re gone. My kids once asked if she was their big sister because they see her as part of the family. We have complete trust in Aniya when we head out the door that she will take good care of our kids and she will always contact us if she needs anything."
