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've always had aspirations to be a great role model to younger children, as well as showing them the greater life of having someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of children in their heart. My bubbly and inner child has a natural way of showing up in my work life. It's not even a job to me, it's really hard finding great people now and days and the life I was given by my parents taught me more than I need to know. I have no kids of my own but have had experience for 5 plus years. I am a former cheerleader, as well as a ballerina. Which gives a little insight on how my personality would look like. You wont regret the decision of allowing me to take wonderful care of your kiddos. It's in me, not on me.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emily and I’m 26 years old looking for a change in work. I currently work in the restaurant industry but have had previous experience as a nanny for two separate families and would like to get back into this fulfilling work! My care style is focused on play, hands on activities, and outdoor play and adventures. I don’t currently hold a First Aid Certification nor a CPR certification but am willing to receive this training to make sure I’m fully equipped to care for your children. I’m a non-smoker with a clean driving record. I have many hobbies including reading, scrapbooking, puzzles, running, and of course I love spending time with my friends. I’m very family oriented and am one of four girls; my sisters and I are all very close. I look forward to partnering with your family to support you and your children!
