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.

I studied childhood education in high school and have been babysitting my whole life.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Attean! I’m 25 and currently a graduate student at the University of Utah studying Special Education while working toward my elementary teaching license. I originally earned a degree in Communications, but after teaching English at an elementary school in South Korea for a couple of years, I realized education is where I really want to be. I’m comfortable supporting kids who are English learners as well as children with disabilities. My availability can shift a bit depending on my university schedule, so I’m happy to talk through timing together.
