Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

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 Chloe! I’m 16 and about to start my junior year at Smithson Valley High School. I’m the oldest of two siblings and all my cousins, so I’ve naturally taken on a leadership role in my family. With my dad deployed and my mom working hard, I help out a lot at home whether it’s caring for my siblings or handling daily chores. I’m energetic, responsible, and love staying busy. I really enjoy volunteering, especially with kids. Helping at Community Bible Church’s Vacation Bible School has taught me patience, creativity, and how to connect with younger children. I’m now looking for a summer job where I can keep learning, take on new responsibilities, and be a positive part of a team. In my free time, I love reading, playing board games, and hanging out with my animals and friends. I try to bring kindness and energy into everything I do.
