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

"Elizabeth is the most reliable, dedicated, caring nanny. She is firm, but cares for the kids as if they were her own. She did not just watch the kids, she made sure they were enriched. She planned age appropriate outings, encouraged building friendships, planned projects, organized summer reading and workbooks to keep them prepared for each school year. She also planned fun activities and holiday parties. We have a pool and she was very attentive to ensuring water safety. She was with us for 13 years and we never had an issue."
