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
I am First Aid and CPR certified, and I take safety and well-being very seriously. I always aim to create a fun, educational, and safe environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow.
Working with kids is my passion. I love engaging them in activities that spark creativity and learning, from story time and crafts to outdoor play and sensory activities. I’m also happy to help with routines, mealtimes, light housekeeping related to the children, and anything that supports the household’s smooth daily flow.
If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and experienced to become part of your family team, I’d love to connect!

A little bit about me
I’ve always loved working with children, I grew up with both an older and a younger sister, so I’ve seen all sides of sibling life! I also completed a year of childcare classes in high school, which helped me build a solid foundation in child development and safety.
Over the years, I’ve babysat kids of all ages, especially my younger cousins. I believe in teaching through patience and understanding—helping kids learn right from wrong and guiding them through situations in ways they can really understand. It’s incredibly rewarding to see them grow and learn new things with my help.
