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

For the past few years I’ve been a full time nanny for 4 kids, and before that I was an elementary school teacher. With a background in Linguistics and Cognitive Science, I’m passionate about reaching early childhood milestones, teaching language, turn taking, and other social emotional skills. I love facilitating this learning through play, and tailoring it to your child, using science experiments, singing, crafts, pretend play, and of course reading! I love bringing magical moments to little ones lives, and making parent’s lives easier.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Maria Castaneda. I’m from Colombia and currently living in North Carolina with my family. I’m in the final semesters of my Law degree, which gives me the flexibility to work while continuing my studies part-time.

I have experience caring for children of all ages, especially my two younger siblings, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids playing, laughing, and helping them feel safe and happy. I believe children are kind, sweet, and full of potential, and I love being part of their growth.

I’m a responsible, patient, and loving person. I speak Spanish as my first language and understand English well enough to communicate effectively. I also know how to cook, have a valid driver’s license, and my own car, so transportation is never a problem.

I’m available for full-time or part-time work. It would be a pleasure to take care of your little ones with love and dedication.
