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 try to model myself as a positive male role model to the children I work with. I believe in reinforcing things, such as being caring, respectful, responsible, and honest, all while making sure that they have a chance to be a kid, too. We live in a world that tries to take away that so quickly, so I’d like to find time to goof around (reasonably of course).

A little bit about me

My name is Allie Larson and I have always loved being a babysitter! My parents worked a lot when I was younger so I spent most of my time with my nanny. My old nanny had inspired me to always be kind and have fun, which still inspires me as a babysitter/ nanny. She had younger children of her own and let me help take care of them, which gave me a love for helping others. I love inspiring and helping children spark their creativity and passions. I believe all children deserve a great childhood with the help of a babysitter and it is my honor to be a part of it!
Other big things to know about me is that I am a freshman college student at St. Norbert college studying psychology and English. I am also in the Army ROTC program. My family, friends, studies, and responsibilities are very important to me. I have two younger brothers who I’ve helped taken care of just about it all my life, so you could say I’ve been a babysitter all my life! I never get tired of helping others.
