What drives the price

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

Long-time caregiver. Experience babysitting kids short and long term. Professional experience working with the elderly, professional experience working with disabilities.
College student who also holds a work-study outreach position as an advocate for fellow former foster youth.
Some college-level nursing education, CPR and BLS certified by the American Heart Foundation.
Safety is always the number one priority, but after that I love to celebrate the kiddos (or old folks!) for their individuality.
I'll be someone that they know will listen to them-- whether it's about trouble at school, that just amazing episode of Paw Patrol they just have to tell someone about, or your 82-year-old Mom's favorite story about bumping into Dean Martin at the post office.
I pride myself on being patient, empathetic and understanding the importance of open lines of communication and positive reinforcement.
Always let me know if there are any cultural or behavioral needs I should be aware of!!

"My 8 and 4 year old daughters absolutely love Caidyn! I also have a 9 month old son that she cared for along with the other two recently and I was so pleasantly surprised she is the only non-parent caregiver that was able to care for all 3 children without any problems. I came home to smiling, laughing, well fed kids! "
