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
As a nurturing and responsible childcare provider, I'm dedicated to supporting families and offering reliable care for their precious little ones. With two years of experience in childcare, I've honed my skills in providing a safe and stimulating environment for children of various age groups.
My patient, calm, and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children, creating a harmonious atmosphere. I believe in open communication and keep parents informed about their child's day through written daily reports and verbal communication during pickup.
I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules, ensuring consistency and respect for their parenting style. My creativity and imagination come alive as I engage children in educational games, board games, puzzles, and technology-based activities that foster learning and fun.
I'm comfortable caring for more than one child at a time and have experience with age groups ranging from infants to 11-year-olds.
