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’m currently in high school, which is upcoming senior. During my summer break I want to work as a babysitter because I love being with kids. I completed child development classes and cadet teaching. The teachers and staffs were trusted me a lot especially with infants and toddlers, so they send mostly to the infants and toddlers rooms to help them.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m 17 years old and have some years of experience caring for my younger siblings, helping with everything from feeding, changing, and bathing to dressing them. People call me the “Country Singer” because of my caring, dependable approach, as well as due to the fact I’ve bring my guitar everywhere I go. I’m passionate about becoming the best version of myself and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. I understand how important it is for parents to have a night out, and you can trust me to keep your little ones happy, safe, and entertained while you enjoy worry-free time. I’ve also babysat kids my own age, and it’s gone great — I think it’s a positive experience for both sides. They enjoy having someone close to their age, and I love building fun, supportive relationships. I’ve also cared for their younger siblings, giving me experience with a wide range of ages and personalities.
It’d be great if you would consider me to take care of your worries, thank U!
