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.

"Stella has and still does babysit/nanny’s my three young children. She started when they were ages 4,2, and a less than 1 year old. She is so kind and patient with children I know I can trust her! She can do it all, she’s fed dinner to my kids, dressed them, and put all three to bed. She is so hands on while playing and creative with them. My kids are always excited when she comes and ask for her. I would for sure recommend and trust Stella!"
