Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

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

Hello my name is Kat!
I currently am a server and have been for a little over 4 years, I’m moving to the Conroe area soon and I’m looking to change things up a bit. I currently have no paid childcare experience but I’m a proud auntie and look after the little ones any chance I get. I know this will definitely be a learning experience for me but I know I will learn quickly as I’m already great with children. I definitely would have a more hands on approach and would always prefer going to the park or playing pretend over tv and phones. I was great at school and would be a fantastic help with homework, I could do light housework and anything else you may need. I also love pets. Dogs, cats, exotics, I love them all and I even have two cats of my own. I’m currently in school online for coding and web development. Apart from that my hobbies are crocheting, cooking, and painting. If you think I would be a good fit for you and your family don’t hesitate to reach out to set up a time to meet!
