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

Hello families! My name is Emily Cowette and I am currently a sophomore at Purdue University where I am studying Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies. I will be home for the summer and am looking for a summer nanny position. I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old and love to work with children! I have experience working with all ages ranging from 2 to 13 years old. Because of this large range, I have experience teaching kids different types of skills such as interpersonal communication and self calming techniques. I do have access to a car so could provide transportation if needed. I love to encourage all types of creativity and finding excitement in every day activities. I am always sure to encourage independence in problem solving as well as enforcing the idea that if needed- help is always available. But above all else, I am highly dedicated to making sure that your children have the best summer ever!

Hi! I’m Julia ☀️ I’m a caring, reliable, and patient caregiver with a big heart for kids and families. I’m currently earning my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services with a concentration in Child & Family Development, so working with children is truly something I’m passionate about both personally and professionally.
I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves.
