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 bring not only years of life experience but a heart full of love and care for children of all ages. After a fulfilling career with Verizon, I retired and found my true passion in nurturing and supporting families as a nanny. Since becoming a widow in 2013, I have devoted my time to providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for the children I care for.
As a proud mother of three grown sons and grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and consistency in a child’s life. I believe in fostering creativity, encouraging learning, and making every child feel valued and secure. I’ve had the joy of working with a variety of families, helping to raise children from toddler through school-age. I am committed, dependable, and passionate about helping families thrive. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your child with kindness, wisdom, and a mother’s touch, I would be honored to be a part of your child’s journey.

"Gladys is ABSOLUTELY incredible! She is like part of the family for my children. She is very caring and thorough with details of events for the day-what my children played, ate, and learned each day(even potty schedule for my little one)! My mind was at ease each day that Gladys was caring for my boys. It was an honor to have Gladys as part of my children’s life to help them learn and grow! Gladys would definitely still be with us if it weren’t for my children going to school this year! 100000/10 would recommend!"

The family I have been nannying for since 2017 had just recently moved out of state for the fathers job.

After have working with children ages 6 weeks to 6 years, I have gained a lot of experience in caring for as well as teaching young children.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am currently studying for my CDA (certification in early childhood development). I enjoy arts and crafts as well as sensory projects. I have babysat consistently for multiple families that I have met through working at day cares. I am looking for a nice family with up to 2 young children. Fully vaxxed
