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.

Hi, my name is Antonita Broomfield but go by Nita. I have been working in childcare for about 3 years and love working with children. I have a passion for interacting with children and caring for them. I have no problems with changing diapers, feeding them, playing games and singing songs along with your child. I love to build a good trust relationship with you and your child and have a friendly bond. It is important for me to always have a positive attitude and bright energy. Entertaining is what I do best, being silly, but also being serious when things need to get done. Working together and having a set schedule would help me a lot. Thank you.
