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! My name is Nevaeh Manning, and I am 18 years old. Im responsible, patient, and love working with kids. I recently completed my phlebotomy training, which has taught me professionalism, communication skills, and how to stay calm and attentive in important situations. I was also on my high school drill team for all four years, which helped me become very dependable, disciplined, and hardworking.
Im the oldest sibling and oldest grandchild in a big family, so I’ve grown up helping care for my two younger siblings and lots of younger cousins. Because of that, I’ve basically always been the designated babysitter and have plenty of experience with kids of different ages. I genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for children, whether thats helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or just keeping them entertained and cared for.
Im reliable, friendly, organized, and always trying to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported!!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Chloe mills, I am 21 and I have a daughter named Delilah. I am a single mom and we don’t have a lot of family. So we do tend to be around other people a lot. I have been working in a preschool environment for 2 years now. I have experience with curriculum, structure, and having a schedule down. I’m all for learning but also having fun. I do try to keep all screens off during the week but I’m always willing to adjust. We just prefer to be more outside and active. Please let me know if we might be a fit.
