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.

Recent reference

"Heather is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I never once doubted the safety and comfort of my kids while under her care. She is honest, forthright, and dependable. My kids loved going to spend time with her and loved her just as much. She provided me with advice as a new mom, answered any questions I may have, as well as respected my wishes when it came to my children. It was hard to find someone whom I could trust with my kids, and Heather exceeded my expectations. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their children."

A little bit about me

I am almost 18 years old and have been watching kids of many ages for years on end. i’ve got siblings of my own and have been left responsible for their friends and large groups of kids at a time. i have decent experience with kids of all ages and sometimes even find i get along better with kids than people my own age. my only problem is i do not have a drivers license yet so it would have to be a job i can be dropped off at to watch the kids and picked up after the shift. i can cook, play, do bath time if needed, tell bedtime stories, do play of all kinds, ill even help with homework. i am currently pregnant and finding it hard to locate jobs that will hire pregnant and under 18. i turn 18 in may and am due to have my baby in april but i am in desperate need of income. i am experienced with babies, toddlers, kids, preteens, even teenagers! ive got some experience in special needs as i have a sibling in almost every age group and a few special needs siblings and family myself.
