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 Mariah and I am 18 years old. I graduated from Westside High School at 16. I have been a nursing assistant for a year at Methodist Hospital and my dream job is to become an ultrasound tech and work with kids. I love fishing, going to the gym, and I am in college. I have two dogs, Boss and Kash. I have a positive attitude about almost anything. I have been told I am a joy to be around! Working with kids has been one of the best jobs I’ve done. I am very respectful and responsible when it comes to children. I worked at a daycare for 6 months and that is the one job I enjoyed most!

A little bit about me
Heyy family, I’ve been working with children since I was old enough to babysit (started at 12 years old, I am now 32). So I have 15 plus years of experience with children. I’ve nannied for a family before and I also have volunteered in the nursery/children’s room at church. I’ve worked in daycares as well. I am a mother of 2 kiddos. My oldest is a 11yo Boy and my youngest is a 4yo Girl. We enjoy getting outside, taking walks, bike/scooter rides, picnics, zoo trips, museum trips, free kids events. We like to stay active, and learn and see new things. I also love getting out and volunteering and lending a helping hand. I live and raise my children in a biblical faith based lifestyle!
Also I would need to bring my daughter with me, if that is a hard no I completely understand. Just to reassure you, I have nannied with her before for another family and she was a big help honestly. Very mature and well behaved. Also I did have my CRP certification but it did expire.

I'm a very outdoorsy and friendly person. I like to spend time with my animals and my wife. We mainly go on hikes, walks, play mini golf, go to the zoo, swimming, and occasionally spend time at the drive range. My work experiences mainly consist of costumer service, reporting, observing, and safety. I do have previous experiences with child care.
