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 am from Peru and I speak Spanish as my first language. I have experience and many years dedicated to taking care of children, mostly from 0 to 4 years of age, in addition to being a mother of two children and two beautiful grandchildren :) I really like teaching the children that I take care of, numbers, colors, and the names of things in Spanish. Learning another language from a young age will open their minds much more in addition to being very fun with my flashcards.

Hi, My name is KeAsia. I am a college student pursuing a career as a family counselor. I have 8 years of experience in child care, ranging from 3 months to 11 years. I am fun, creative, confident, and a multitasker. I love kids just as much as they love me. A toddler I cared for, never wanted to leave.

I am happy and excited to spend time with your child/children. I am so eager to meet your family. I care, and always there.
