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! I'm Stephanie, and I’ve been passionate about working with children since I was 16. I started in daycares and have also volunteered with students with special needs. I hold a degree in Elementary Education and am currently earning my Special Education Endorsement. I’ve worked in classrooms, after-school programs, and one-on-one settings. I believe that kids thrive when given strong boundaries along with the freedom to make age-appropriate choices. I'm calm, patient, and fun — and I love helping children learn through play, conversation, and everyday routines. I would love to support your family and help your child grow with kindness, structure, and joy!
