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

I am a fun, kind, and dependable person! When I was in 7th grade my baby cousin was born and I grew up taking care of her she is 6 now, but I got to get a lot of experience with her. In my senior year of high school I had a babysitting job that I would watch a 1 year old once a week. In highschool I had early childhood all through high school and was in the daycare. I got to work with all ages and helped and I got to babysit some of the kids outside of school hours. So I would say I’ve had plenty of experience! Right now I graduate and get my highschool diploma in a month and and I am still 17 I turn 18 in August and would love to work any hours and any days( days off that I have trips or doctors)
