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
My name is Sasha, I live in Edinburg Tx, from Monterrey, Mex. I am currently working as a dasher, since I decided to take a break from school this summer. I am the oldest of 5 siblings, the youngest being 6! He is my everything! I love kids, I do have a substitute certification that I went through with UTRGV, but unfortunately the pandemic started by the time I wanted to apply for a job. I am vaccinated, have proof and everything, :) I also speak fluent Spanish, I love animals specially cats but sadly I am allergic to them. I do have my own car, so transportation won't be an issue. I am very much available and free mon-sun.
