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 Tiffany, I’m 23 years old. I’m currently a beauty industry entrepreneur. Ever since I was 15 years old I’ve constantly been working with children. Starting with my aunts home-based daycare, I would assist with children ages newborn - nine years old. Following that I babysat for two young children ages two and seven years old. Most recently, I assisted my sister after a very difficult birth. I took time off of work to stay home and help her during the first two months postpartum. To this day I am constantly babysitting newborns and toddlers. My roles consisted of feeding the children, putting them down for naps, diaper changing, providing entertainment, helping with homework, and light housekeeping.

Hello, My name is Phédora. I am a 26 year old college graduate. I am currently a teaching Assistant at a school for children with autism.

A little bit about me
Hello everyone! My name is Tremaine Brown Jr. and I am 21 years old. I know my age may concern some of you however I’m here to let you know that although I’m young I am well versed in taking care of children. Growing up my parents worked a lot and because I was the oldest I was constantly caring for my 3 younger siblings. While caring for them I would keep them entertained by playing games, reading books, going outside and simply staying creative. Along with that I would cook for them, give them bath time and then put them to sleep. I am comfortable caring for all ages and confident that I will do the job right. Hopefully I will get the chance to work with one of you soon!

"If I had the ability to give to give Tremaine or Tj as we call him 100/10 stars, I would. He was honestly the best nanny we could have asked for at that point. He was a ball of energy with my son. He kept him laughing, not just a regular laugh but a belly laugh and hearing that just warmed my heart each time. He truly cared for my son and it showed. Their relationship was exactly what I was looking for in a nanny. He was very punctual and if there were a time where he was running behind (were all human it’s ok!) he made sure to call in advance to tell me. He updated me whenever I asked. He sent pictures and videos throughout the day. He went above and beyond in caring for my son. If it weren’t for that covid shutdown and then my son going to pre school , I’m sure Tj would have been with us longer."
