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, I’m Jayla. I’m 23 As a little girl i loved being around babies and young children. I always babysat my newly born cousins everyday with assistance. I started helping my church daycare and kidszone. In 2018 I got a summer job at a summer camp. The children aged from 5-11. I had so much fun, task and responsibilities. Some included circle time, exercise time, math, outside play, supervising the children on field trips. I served breakfast and lunch, washed dishes, cleaned bathroom. I just had a fun time overall and I wish I could experience it again. I stopped working at a daycare as assistant teacher/floater for almost 4 years. i have experienced in ages 0-11 years old. I’m passionate when it comes to children’s well being and education. I’m responsible and caring, very patient with children And I love my job. Can’t wait to meet more families and help shape the lives of the little ones
