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! My name is Kaitlyn. I’m a full-time real estate agent in the Greater Milwaukee area, which gives me a flexible schedule—especially during certain weekdays—so I’m looking to fill that time doing something I truly enjoy.

I’ve always loved working with kids and have experience helping families with children ranging from newborns to around 10 years old. I’m comfortable with everything from infant care to keeping older kids engaged, active, and on routine.

I’m very outdoorsy and love staying active, whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or planning fun activities to keep kids moving and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and naturally nurturing, and I really enjoy creating a positive, safe environment for kids to learn and grow.

I’d love the opportunity to support a family who needs an extra set of hands during the week!
