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 Mariah and I’m a passionate and responsible caregiver with experience working at a daycare and babysitting outside of that. I spend a few days a week at a daycare, where I work with children of all ages, and I also babysit for families outside of the daycare. I love getting to know each child I care for. It’s important to me to learn about their interests and personalities, so I can come up with fun activities that they’ll enjoy.I’m always excited to create an environment where the kids feel safe, happy, and engaged. I pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I understand the importance of parents feeling comfortable and confident leaving their little ones in my care, and I always make sure to keep them informed and reassured. My daycare job is very flexible, so I’m available most days, and I can accommodate specific scheduling needs.
If you’re looking for a babysitter who is fun, caring, and dedicated to giving your child a great experience, I’d love to chat!
