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

Hi, my name is Jess. I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I have a 17 year old daughter. I enjoy watering my friendships, going to theme parks, reading by the water, and trying almost anything at least once. I currently work as a special education teacher assistant during the school year at a middle school. Prior to that I was working at a daycare for 15 years. I enjoy doing crafts with kids and finding out what their interests are so we can find something to go along with that to further foster their love of whatever that is. I love the outdoors and believe a little outside time does the mind and soul good.
