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 was the assistant director of La Petite Academy in TX in the 1990's and was CPR certified, but it has since lapsed. I went on to have 4 children of my own, who are now grown. I have worked in healthcare for the past 25 years, but I am now looking for a more personal position to help families with their children, just as others helped me with my children. I love doing crafts and singing with young ones. Children are like sponges and they soak up information, so I would take my lead from the parents on what they feel is important for their children to learn. Children bring me joy and are so much fun! I was PTA President and room mom for my children while in elementary school and took an active role in all school activities. I'm not Mary Poppins, but I believe I can be an asset to your family
