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! My name is Cammy and I recently moved to Bend, Oregon from Illinois. I am 22 years old, a college student studying Social Science, and avid outdoor enjoyer. I have been babysitting since I was 14 for multiple families (ages 3-9). My most recent childcare positions included working as a nature preschool teacher (3-5 years old) and instructor (1-15 years old) at a local nature preserve. I also have years of experience working with children with disabilities through SEASPAR, a special recreation association. :)

A little bit about me
I am a mother of 2 grown children and a grandmother to 4 grandchildren, ages 2 years to 6 years old which has been my greatest role in life. I am from Seattle, Washington where I worked as a paralegal for 40 years. I moved to Bend a year and a half ago to be closer to my son and grandson and would like to get out and start working again. I can’t think of a better job than taking care of children and hoping to find a great family or families to work with. I am physically fit and love to stay active and busy.

A little bit about me
Born and raised here in beautiful Bend Oregon! I am excited to say that I am on the hunt for my next family to assist.
I have a large family with an array of children ages ranging from newborn to 12 years old that has provided me with plenty of experience and knowledge growing up. I have spent the last few years as a nanny for a few different families ages 10 months to 10+ years old!
I left my job in May as a preschool teacher (total 7 months) and absolutely loved it, but after some consideration I have realized I prefer being able to give all that I have to offer to individual children and families instead.
CPR + first aid certified with my last training held in March.
I have a love of kids and childhood development as a whole.
I would consider myself a kid at heart! I am very active and hands on. I encourage independence and imagination in little ones and I am thrilled to again have the opportunity to provide amazing child care!
Thank you for taking the time to read about me (:
