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 retired grandma who has provided babysitting for several families over the years. I love children and miss having little ones in my life. I am currently employed by Carolina Enhancement Services in Burlington, NC which provides care for children with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. I am currently assigned to provide 6 hours per week respite care for a 13 year old girl who is on the autistic spectrum. Before hiring me they did a background check and I was required to take CPR and first aid training for which I have a certificate. I am currently providing part-time child care for two children. I began last July when the baby was 3 months old and the other child, who is also on the autistic spectrum, was 5. They are a great family, and are aware that I have reporsted my orofile here because I am looking for something that will provide me with at least 10+ hours per week. My fee is $12 for 1 child and $15 for two.

A little bit about me
I have always had a love for kids from a very young age. Most children take to me very well and I love them like my own. I worked at a Care-A-Lot daycare when I was still in high school for about 2 years. I’m married, have children, our daughter is 16 and my stepson is 17. Also have a stepdaughter that is all grown up and living on her own. I have previously been certified in cpr and first aid but just never renewed the certification. I will always look after your children just as if they were my own.
