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

"Dajiara was an amazing caregiver for our children, who were 3 and 6 years old while she cared for them. She was dependable, patient, and truly cared about creating a safe and nurturing environment where they could feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. She was great at following our routines, communicating with us, and understanding our children’s individual needs and personalities. Dajiara planned fun and age-appropriate activities, helped with daily routines, prepared meals, encouraged learning through play, and made sure our children were always cared for with kindness and attention. What stood out most about Dajiara was the genuine connection she built with our children. They felt safe and happy with her, and we always had peace of mind knowing they were in her care. She is responsible, trustworthy, and someone any family would be lucky to have as part of their support system."
