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

My name is Ashlyn, I am a mom of 3 boys. My youngest is about to start school, and I am looking for supplemental income for my family and being a nanny/childcare giver comes naturally to me. I completed Paramedic school in 2016, and worked as an EMT locally before I had my 3rd child. I have emergency medical experience, and my oldest child has Autism, so special needs are not unfamiliar to me either.
I'm ok with all animals. My only stipulation is a non-smoking household as my children have extreme sensitivities.
