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
I absolutely love being around kids. I’m always the person at the family function holding the baby. I think nannying would help prepare me for being a mom as well as being able to have fun and comfort your children. My little sister and I are eight years apart. She has been more like a daughter to me than a little sister. She’s my pride and joy. I will drop anything in the world for her. She did get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at six years old, so I feel like my experience with her medical devices could help me out in nannying as well as knowing how to handle/ comfort kids in uncomfortable or difficult situations.

A little bit about me
I have always had a genuine love for working with children. I’m certified in Caregiving along with CPR/First Aid & currently a HHA. I have also completed state courses & passed exams for knowledge in childcare/daycare at my previous job. I have babysat over the years of multiple ages. I recently worked as a daycare assistant teacher for about a year, caring for children from all age groups from infants-school aged including special needs with a large amount of children at once. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, & positive environment where children can learn, grow, explore, & feel comfortable being themselves. I believe in prioritizing safety & development while creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning & creativity. Most importantly, I value spending quality time with children & building trusting relationships with children & parents. I want every child to see me as someone they can trust, look up to, & rely on when they need comfort, encouragement, or support.
