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 names Nicole, I’m 18 years old that just graduated in May! I’m engaged and have two great fur babies. I haven’t had official nanny experience but I did take care of three kids after school for about three years which included help with school work, making sure they did their chores, took them out on activities to get ice cream or go to the park. I am happy to do cleaning and snack and meal prep. I’m very outgoing and dependable. I do great with animals of all sorts. I’m looking to switch from my customer service career to working with kids. I’m not great with these written out about me things but am looking forward to meeting families!:)
