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 Abby, a college student who has always loved working with children. I’ve had the opportunity to work with kids in several different settings, from babysitting to preschool and dance teaching, which has made me realize how much I enjoy being around them and watching them learn, grow, and develop. My experiences working with children have also played a big role in my goal of becoming an occupational therapist, where I hope to continue helping children reach their goals and build confidence. Outside of school and work, I love dancing, staying active, spending time with my friends and family, and being creative. I’m a caring, patient, responsible, and dependable person, and I always try to create a fun and comfortable environment for the children I’m around. I’m excited to get to know your family and hopefully become someone you can trust and rely on!

A little bit about me

I am the middle child of 16 kids! 6 of them are younger than me and I raised them since they were very young able to walk or as small as a newborn. I just moved to Greer SC i originally came from asheville Nc! I love cars, nature, helping others, and traveling. I am in college i attend blue ridge community college in Flat Rock NC. I can accept $18-$20+/hr so I am flexible! I love little kids a ton & they’re a reminder of my memories with my little siblings so i enjoy it a lot! I love being able to connect with kids and help them in any way i can. I miss my siblings a ton but also miss them being smaller so anytime i can connect with children it’s like seeing my siblings again. Sometimes people don’t realize that just with a bit of patience & listening with their heart not just their ears can go a long way. Children just want to be seen & want to know that from you so when an individual can display that….the children feels more safe & that’s what it’s all about.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jessica I'm 42 years old and originally from Maryland . I first got married in 2005 and lived in Tennessee with my first husband . I had my first child in 2007 he is now 17 ! Well February 15 he will be 18 . So crazy how fast it goes . And my second child was born in 2008 she is 16 . And my youngest is 14 and was born in 2010. When they were toddlers I taught them numbers 1-10 and letter and adding and subtracting and when they were testing for pre school they couldn't go bc they already knew everything from what they said . I loved every min of it . Which also in 2010 I had to keep they busy bc their father has passed away and I moved in with my parents. We would play games and bake and learn words . I would go to the store to find anything I could to teach them and they learn to draw shapes and write numbers and soo much more now I found my husband now is 2014 and moved them here . We have still homeschool them and I have also watched two babies who are now growing .
