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’m a stay at home mom with 5 children and would be so happy to watch your children at my house. I’ve lived in Utah my whole life and the last 8 years have been in Tooele. I have a 1 1/2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy at home with me while my 3 older kids are at school (7,11,16). My 2 kids at home are extremely friendly and love to have others to play with. I have so many toys as well as arts and crafts opportunities and a playground in the backyard. Previously I worked at a residential treatment facility as a live in family teacher for 2 years as well as a daycare worker at VASA so I’ve worked with all ages. I’ve been certified in first aid and cpr many times as well as a food handlers license but they are just not up to date right now (I’m willing to update them if that’s important). My whole family loves music and feel that it’s pivotal in a child’s development so I would love to provide music opportunities.
