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 Alexis, but I go by Lex. I am nineteen years old and have a heart for serving people of all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. I am a natural caretaker, meaning it’s something I’ve naturally done my whole life and is a huge part of me. I’ve cared for a wide range of ages in various settings, including newborns and young children in the church and family circles, elementary school aged kids in my first two jobs as a gymnastics coach and an afterschool Aid, and an elderly woman in her late seventies who was a close family friend of mine. Because I worked in a school district, I am certified in Child CPR, First Aid, and AED. I can’t wait to meet y'all!
