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! I’m almost 16 years old and I currently have a job as a hostess at Winking Lizard. I want to babysit to save up some extra money for a car. I have experience with kids ages 0-10, those kids are my cousins/cousins friends that I will sometimes look after! I used to have a babysitting license that unfortunately expired once quarantine ended. I’m not sure if this is necessary to add, but I do know self defense as I am a black belt. I do not have my license yet, but I do have a ride for getting there and heading back home! Many kids seem to really like me, so I hope you’ll hire me! I am willing to adjust the price to what is best for you.
