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! My name is Kristian, I’m fairly new to the nanny scene but when it comes to child care I’d consider myself experienced. I’ve worked for a Charter School and a few Preschools, with children ranging from the age of 2 to 12 years old. I loved every bit of it! I’m currently in the process of securing a degree in the early childhood education field and would love to broaden my knowledge of children first hand. Hopefully I get a chance to be apart of your family on my journey :)
