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'm 20 years old, already working an almost full-time job but I am getting married in August and would love to pick up a part time job to save a little more. I've always had a heart for kids, to love, teach and create a safe, fun environment. Babies have always had my entire heart. I was a nanny for a year for kids ages 2 to 13. The past two summers I have spent as a camp counselor, leading groups of up to 15 kids at time, ages ranging from 5 to 15. As a younger teenager I babysat a friend's newborn part time and would love to find a job like that again. If possible I would love to be able to babysit from my own home but I'm very flexible with hours during the week.
