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 a compassionate quick learner with 7 years of caregiving experience working in memory care and with intellectually disabled individuals (both adults and children). I’ve grown up with 6 of my siblings being 10+ years older than me so I have quite a bit of personal experience babysitting/providing childcare for my nieces and nephews from birth to teenage years. Beginning around age 15 I started watching my nieces and nephews often, I continued babysitting as my siblings had their kids and it is my absolute favorite part of being an aunt

I am nineteen years of age and pursuing my fire fighting and first responder career. I love being around littlest ones as I have nine niece and nephews myself that I love and care for as if they were my own. I am so eager to help others and always do what is right. I have my basic life support certification, CPR/first aid and am on my way to getting my EMT and paramedic. I have lots of experience with care from infants all the way up to elderly. I have baby sat for families for many years, I was a previous fire fighter providing care to the whole community, and I have been a care giver at a retirement home. I am excited to become a nanny and love, care, support, and protect little ones.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Taevian! I am 34 years old from Portland Oregon but have been residing in the Eugene/Springfield area for about 13 years; I spent a few years working for Petersen Barn Community Center in their free summer park programs as well as the after school programs for both elementary and middle school. From there I was a PSW working for a family with two kids. I worked with this family for about 5 years until they moved to another state. I am still very close with this family. For the last almost two years I have been working as a caregiver in a private foster home for ID/DD individuals. As much as I love this work my joy has always come out the most working with youth and I so very much so wish to transition back into working with children.
I currently work as a teaching assistant at a private school for children on the spectrum. I am accustomed to the tougher behaviors. After school hours and weekends available. Hope to hear from someone soon.
