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
I have experience nannying for two families, as well as several years of experience working in a daycare. I also have 8 nieces and nephews who I’m really close with and care for often, so I’ve spent plenty of time caring for kids of all different ages and personalities!
I genuinely love being around kids and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. I’m comfortable with all age groups and would love to find a family that feels like a great fit!
