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 Annika and I’ve been babysitting and working in church nurseries since I was 12 years old. I am currently a part time nanny for 8 children ages 5 months - 12 years. I have been with this family for 5 years and am looking for another part time nanny job.
I absolutely love kids and am more than happy to help out with things around the house like cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc.
I am also an artist, so if you have any children that enjoy arts and crafts I’d be happy to help encourage them in that area.
I do not currently have a hard and fast schedule, so if you’re looking for someone to work outside the times I’ve given I may be able to work something out. As I do have another nanny job at the moment, I will require advance notice for anything outside the agreed upon scheduling. I am open to last minute scheduling though so long as it doesn’t conflict with my other job.
