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.

Hello, my name is Kayleen Way, I have about two years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and around three years of experience babysitting. While being a CNA I've developed a strong skill set in providing compassionate care, I also learned CPR along with first aid, however I need to get certified again. I have developed excellent observational skills, which help me quickly identify and respond to any needs or issues. In my CNA role, I often worked with patients of various ages, including children, and provided care in a nurturing and patient manner. I am passionate about caregiving and enjoy creating a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. I would love to discuss how my skills and experience can benefit your family. Thank you for considering my application.

A little bit about me
Hey I’m Naza, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Argentina. I’ve worked as a living nanny (au pair) in the USA for two years working 45 hours a week, I had two host kids (a newborn and a 4 year old girl). Also, when I was back home, I took care of 7 kids from different families at the ages of 0 to 10 years old. Some of them were babies so I had to change a lot of diapers and prepare lots of bottles, some other ones were toddlers so I would have to come up with good games to have a really fun time and get to know them and I helped two of them with their homework for school so I would try to find the most effective way to help them learn. I consider that I have a lot of experience with children (+5000 hours), and that's why I feel confident to be your nanny. I hope you reach out to me and we can talk soon!
