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 Emily, a mom of three boys and a lifelong Rhode Islander. I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny position with a family looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely engaged with their children.
I have lots of hands-on experience caring for children, both as a mom and through helping care for my nieces and friends’ children. This summer, I’ve been running what we affectionately call “Camp Auntie,” spending my days caring for the kids, keeping them busy with activities, getting outside, and making the most of summer together. Camp Auntie officially wraps up this upcoming Monday, so I’m excited to find a new family to work with!
I love being outdoors, gardening, exploring nature, doing creative activities, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children. I’d love to get to know your family and see if we might be a good fit!

Hi! My name is Sarah, I am 24 years old and I have been working with children since I was about 15 years old. I have three years of experience in a childcare center where I worked with kids from ages 6 weeks to 6 years. What I love most about supporting children through their growth and development is watching them learn new things, find new interests, and truly just enjoy life through having a more care-free perspective.
