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 Faith :) I’m a dependable, caring, and easygoing nanny who genuinely loves being around kids. I love creating a fun and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable, safe, and excited to be themselves. Whether that’s spending time outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or just keeping up with busy little ones, I enjoy being hands-on and involved.
I’m very active and health-conscious, so I naturally encourage outdoor play, movement, and balanced routines throughout the day. I’d describe myself as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their kids with someone they trust, and I always try to make that as easy as possible.
I also have a college degree, I’m CPR certified, and I have my own reliable car, which helps me stay flexible and dependable for families. I’m looking forward to finding a great family and becoming someone your kids are excited to see every day!

A little bit about me
I grew up in a large family, so being around kids has always come naturally to me. I love their energy, curiosity, and the joy they bring to everyday life. After starting college, I found myself missing that connection and knew I wanted a part-time job that I would genuinely look forward to. I worked at a day care for two years and have helped care for my brother who has special needs—an experience that taught me patience and how to support a child’s unique emotional and developmental needs. I’m reliable, patient, and creative. I have a car, can cook, clean, and assist with homework. I’m also great at creating fun, engaging activities that keep kids entertained while helping them learn. I am also bilingual in both English and Spanish!

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a stay at home momma of a four and a one year old looking to bring a new child into our family to care for during the week! Instead of daycare I can offer love and care for your baby and treat them like my own! I am very passionate about children and giving them all the best because that’s what they deserve as they are the most precious gifts we can have in this world. I would be looking to care for them inside my home and can even pick up and drop off is it makes things easier. Your child will be in the best hands I can promise you that. I will care for your baby like I would want someone to care for mine.
