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.

"Queen was absolutely amazing with my kids. She was gentle with my youngest and helped my oldest with the homework that even I struggled with. Not only did she go above and beyond taking care of my children, but she always made sure to keep full communication with me while looking after my babies. I really appreciate how she kept the same routine with my kids when I wasn't around. If I was still living in the area I would have her back in a heartbeat as my children's nanny. I highly recommend her."

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha and I adore working with children. I have a background in working with young children, as well as a experience in helping my Mother with my 4 younger brothers. I have my CDA and I currently work at a private preschool as a lead Preschool teacher (ages 2-3). I have worked with infants up to 5 year olds, but I do have experience with older children because, as I have mentioned, I helped with my siblings. I am very passionate about working with children but am looking for a change of pace, considering my own child (soon to be 6) is entering public school. I am hoping to find a family with needs for care that align with my own new schedule come September. I look forward to meeting with you and your babies!

Hello! My name is Victoria :) I have been a Registered Behavior Technician for the past year working in a clinical setting managing a caseload of 50+ clients with a 2-11 year age range. Prior to starting this career, I spent my high school days babysitting until eventually becoming a full time nanny for two different families when I made the spontaneous decision of moving to NC for two years! Now that I have just moved back to my home state of NJ, I am looking to go back to nannying where I pride myself in going above and beyond and no job is too much of an ask for me. I have coordinated trips to fun activities, family laundry, meal prep, dog/house sitting when families asked, etc. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have experience working with children with special needs, specializing in autism. Children are my passion in life and I intend to create the utmost safe, nurturing and fun environment for them.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Selena, and I am 22 years old. My mom has been a nanny since she was 17 years old. From a very young age, I started accompanying her to her jobs and learning the ropes. I got my first regular independent babysitting job at 13, for a feisty 2-year-old boy. I've had 6 more regular childcare jobs since then with children ages 2-14. I offer tutoring, laundry, cleaning, pick ups and drop offs, pet care, meal preparation, and activities supervision. I've been a high school paraprofessional, and a program coordinator at Junior Achievement BizTown during the school years. Therefore, I have professional experience with tutoring and academic assistance/learning support.
With every family I work for, I aim to be a friend and mentor to your children, not just a babysitter. Please consider me! :)
