Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-time 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 full-time 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 Jaléyah. I’m 18 years old and recently graduated from high school. I’ll be living in Florida for a few weeks and am currently looking for a full-time, short-term job.

I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and childcare. I used to go with my mom to her nanny jobs, where I helped care for and play with the children. I also babysit my cousin who has cerebral palsy, so I’m comfortable working with children who have special needs and understand how to be patient and supportive.

People often describe me as kind, easy to connect with, and very responsible. I’m also creative—I do nails, make jewelry, and I have a good eye for interior design. I enjoy bringing fun, style, and care into everything I do.

I’m reliable, hardworking, and excited for any opportunity to help a family during my time in Florida.
