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 love being a sitter because I enjoy working with kids and helping create a fun, safe, and structured environment for them. It’s really rewarding to build relationships with both the kids and their families. I have about two years of babysitting experience where I helped with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things clean and organized. I’ve also worked in a restaurant, which helped me get really good at multitasking and working with people.I’m organized, patient, and good at multitasking. I have experience with childcare, meal prep, and keeping a clean, safe space. I’m also currently in college studying Psychology, which helps me better understand children and how to communicate with them.
