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'm passionate about supporting children's growth and development, with over five years of experience caring for kids, I've become adept at creating a safe and nurturing environment.

I'm known for being patient, calm, and friendly, which helps me connect with children and build strong relationships. Communication is key, so I make sure to keep parents updated regularly about their child's day, using their preferred method of contact. As for household rules, I follow the parents' lead, ensuring consistency for the children. I was a lead teacher at a daycare for 12-18month olds. Create lesson plans, crafts, and activities age appropriate for the children to engage in. After working at the daycare I went on to get my RBT (Registered behavior technician) certification. Making me certified in behavior analysis, specialization in children with behavior disabilities and autism.
