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.

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.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kiley, and I have hands-on experience working with children of all ages through both daycare work and babysitting. I especially enjoy caring for infants and young kids, and I’m very comfortable with routines like feeding, naps, playtime, and keeping kids engaged in a safe, fun environment.

I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in creating a positive and structured space for children. I understand how important it is for parents to trust who they leave their kids with, and I always communicate clearly and show up on time.

My schedule is currently open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with additional availability in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m looking for a consistent nanny position but am also open to occasional babysitting.

I would love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!
