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 Chandler, and caring for kids has been at the heart of my career for over 15 years. I spent six years teaching elementary school before leading education and training teams in the corporate world, but I found myself missing the joy of working with children every day.

I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to play, plans fun adventures, encourages creativity, and believes the little moments matter just as much as the big ones. I’m organized, proactive, dependable, and calm under pressure, and I genuinely love helping children learn, laugh, and grow.

My hope is to become an extension of your family by creating a safe, encouraging environment where your children feel loved, supported, and free to be themselves. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to connect.
