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.

I’m a college student at Kennesaw State university but I am currently taking a break due to family issues. While there I majored in Integrated health science but I will considering minor in early childhood education. I’m very nurturing, mature, and professional. While I admit this start as a side job for me in high school, I have grown to love my job and each child I have and will have the opportunity of meeting/met. I love my job because kids are honestly a blessing and a joy to be around and will always keep you on your toes. I’m a firm believer in respecting boundaries when it comes to parenting styles and open communication. Children teach me as much as I teach them, it’s a mutual bond I’m hoping to earn you and your little ones trust. Thank you!
