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.

Hi! My name is [Kimora King], and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments for kids.

Hi everyone! I was previously a professional nanny in the Pensacola area for a total of 7 years and am wanting to start again. I've worked with newborns to preteens and am comfortable with any age. I feel like trust and a strong connection with a care provider is important for all families and children. I have a caring, patient and enthusiastic personality. I believe young children thrive in a playful and creative environment and older children thrive in an environment where they feel relaxed and validated.
