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 Aaleyah, and I would love the opportunity to work with your family as a nanny or babysitter.

As the oldest sibling of four, caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve spent years helping take care of my younger siblings, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun but safe environment for kids of all ages. From helping with homework and keeping routines organized to playing games and making sure everyone feels included, I genuinely enjoy being around children and helping them grow.

I’m very dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person watching their children, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make kids feel safe, supported, and happy while also giving parents piece of mind
