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 was born in Nepal but raised in the U.S., and I’ve called Cincinnati home for the past six years. Coming from a big family, I’ve always been surrounded by children, which has shaped my passion for caring for and connecting with them. I love being the kind of role model and support I wish I had when I was younger.

After earning my cosmetology license right out of high school, I discovered that my true calling is working with kids, so I’m now pursuing a career in pediatric nursing. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, reading, crafting, baking sweet treats, and going on little adventures. I bring creativity, patience, and genuine care into everything I do, especially when it comes to working with children.
