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
I’m a 19-year-old from Clover and a proud 2024 graduate of Clover High School. I’m also a mom to a soon-to-be two-year-old, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your children.
I speak Spanish and have experience working in several daycare centers. I also completed Early Childhood Development classes during high school. Currently, I’m attending school with the goal of joining the police academy, but my passion for caring for children of all ages is something I carry with me every day.
