Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

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 have recently graduated Choctaw High School, I now go to East Central University as a pre-med student looking to go to medical school for pediatrics. I love working with kids and spending time with family and friends. Education is important to me especially teaching kids educational skills in fun ways. I am very kind and compassionate to anyone I am around. It is very important to try to be the light to someone if they have had a bad day, even if you don’t know them.

I am a mother of 3. I was a single mom for 10 years. I love taking care of children of all ages! I homeschool my own children and love to spend time doing fun and educational activities. I find laundry and cooking to be relaxing and I am willing to do anything necessary to make your life easier. I myself know personally how difficult it can be to balance life with children, in order to take care of our families you need to work! I would be happy to make sure you can still be a part of their life even when you have to work. From art work, silly dances, treats and meals when you return. If permitted pictures as well.
