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! My name is Taylor Kivlin and I am an upcoming senior in high school at Cherry Hill West. My passion for childcare has motivated me to pursue my Bachelor’s degree in nursing to become either a labor and delivery nurse or work in the neo-natal field. This year I will be working with Jefferson Hospital in Cherry Hill as an intern to learn and practice more in the medical field!
I’m looking for a part-time position this summer, preferably 10-20 hours a week, and moving into later hours or occasional date nights during the school year. I’m open to a variety of responsibilities such as: meal prep, dishwashing, laundry, general housecleaning, etc. depending on your families wants/needs!

A little bit about me
I'm very hardworking. I take care of kids as if they were my own. I come from a very orientated family. I'm Hispanic-American so I do speak Spanish and will gladly teach kids some words here and there. I like to have fun and be creative, but also serious when it comes to homework if kids have any. I can also do light house cleaning and if you like I can also cook delicious Latin dishes. I love interacting with kids and love when they are feeling comfortable and safe around me.
