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
Your kid will be kept safe & entertained through educational activities that will make them forget about their screen time. I also believe that good health starts from the inside- what we consume through our mouth and brain.
Let me help you grow in your journey as a parent. Will gladly help with meal preps, dropping & picking up, play dates, & light house cleaning.
But who are you hiring? I'm a passionate, caring, well mannered young lady. A freelance graphic designer & small business owner in the printing & skincare industry. Everybody likes an extra income though- it all started with caring for my family's and friend's kids.
