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.

Hi! My name is Sairah and I’m 25 years old. I’ve babysat for many kids, including large groups at special events, for my entire life, but most of my childcare experience comes from taking care of my baby brother, who is currently 9 years old. I’m very flexible in terms of the children I can take of and the hours that I can work. I love hands-on activities like reading, drawing, assembling puzzles, hide-and-seek, etc. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your child(ren)!

A little bit about me
Hi! i’m Gemma
I have years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for children of all ages—babysitting for neighborhood families, helping raise my seven siblings, and regularly watching my eight nieces and nephews, ages 1–7. I’m CPR certified, have all child clearances, and am confident managing routines like meals, play, naps, and light housekeeping.
I also volunteer at my church, helping with youth activities and childcare, which has strengthened my communication and leadership skills. I studied phlebotomy at the Community College of Allegheny County and currently work part-time at a local hospital.
Now, I’m looking for another part-time role caring for up to two children, ages 2–15. I love spending time with my family, reading, and going the park—activities I enjoy sharing with the kids I care for. I’m reliable, patient, and passionate about creating a safe, engaging environment.

Hello! I am looking for part-time nannying work preferably in the evenings/overnight. I love kids! I previously was a color guard coach for elementary, middle school, and high school kids so I have experience working with multiple age groups. Additionally, I have a 9 year nephew who I watch frequently. During the day I work remotely as a Project Manager for a healthcare company. Outside of work, I love crafts, reading, and spending as much time outside as I can.
