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 Nancy Fifita I’m a Tongan 18 year old and I moved to Utah 2 years ago from California! I used to be a singer, actress, and model in California, but I decided to quit all that for a quiet slow life here in Utah! I am currently working as a part time caregiver and studying Pre-Law at UVU!

I grew up in a very family oriented home so I’ve been caring for kids since I was one myself. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the little ones! I’ve raised 3 kiddies who are now in middle school and took care of plenty of others. Paid or not, I always took the time to make sure the kids were safe and having fun!
