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
Hi there! Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a 25-year-old student at Hunter College, majoring in Developmental Psychology. I currently work as a nanny for a 2-year-old on the UES. I have previously worked as an Assistant Teacher in a toddler classroom (12–24 months) and in an infant classroom (6 weeks–12 months), gaining over 4 years of professional experience.
I’ve nannied for three families through Sittercity (including my current family!) and have cared for children for many years, both professionally and for family and friends. As the oldest of six siblings (ages 9 to 23. Yes, it’s as fun and chaotic as it sounds!), I’ve had experience caring for kids of all ages.
Childcare is truly my passion, and I’m working toward becoming a Speech & Language Pathologist. Nannying is a wonderful way for me to gain more professional experience while doing something I love. I’m fully vaccinated for COVID-19, fine with pets, and LGBTQ+ friendly.

Hi! My name is Geniah, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience working with kids through after-school programs, where I’ve helped create fun activities, keep children engaged, and make sure they feel safe and supported. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every child has their own personality and needs. I’m also creative and love finding fun ways to keep kids entertained while still encouraging them to learn and grow. I’m someone who takes my responsibilities seriously, communicates well, and always wants the children in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care into a nanny position!
