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
Hi! I’m Eryn, and I have nearly two years of hands-on experience working in a daycare with children from 4 weeks to 12 years old. I’m CPR certified and trained in first aid, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I truly enjoy building strong connections with both children and their families.
I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like crafts, baking, and puzzles, and I have experience leading activities, managing challenging behaviors, and safely transporting children. Whether it’s helping with routines, encouraging learning, or just making the day more fun, I’m always ready to jump in and help. I’d love to find a family I can support and grow with!

A little bit about me
I just finished a 1.5 year contract within a medical professional family. Having used Nanny Lane, it was a great experience! I have several years of childcare experience and kind references that can attest to my reliability and professionalism. I hold myself to a good standard while also being relaxed and intuned to the needs of others. I am local to the greater seattle area and have lived here my whole life. Having raised my own 3 children into adulthood, they have grown into valuable assets to their communities. I've worked within children's ministry, volunteered at camps, served abroad for an all girls special needs orphanage in Moldova. I was state approved to foster 2 additional children until the date of their adoption. I consider myself a compassionate humanitarian. I thrive on consistent reliable routines and communications. I have good housekeeping skills as I have also self managed all maintanance aspects of 3 wedding venues. I understand compassion and professionalism.

A little bit about me
I have been a professional Nanny since 2006. I started babysitting at 12 for my family and church. I’m also a mom with teenage daughters. I was a Summer Youth Coordinator recruiting families and planning weekly field trips and activities for the 2023 Compass USA Japanese exchange program. I homeschooled with Lake Stevens school district Parent Teacher Partnership for 8 years including EL course workshops. Music is also my passion and I love singing. My other hobbies include holistic healing, hiking and continued learning about life, reading, jazz, classical, modern music. I would be a great addition to your family supporting and cheering you on in your journey as you grow together. In addition to 17 years of Nanny care and homeschooling experience I have 4 years of combined professional “classroom” and online experience in Early Childhood Education with ECC and LSSD and Jovie Nanny Agency along with over 30 years of actual childcare experience. Thank you for considering me!
