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
I’ve done nothing but work fast food for 3+ years I want to step out of this era of my life and start new. I’m a good cleaner I can make basic meals I like to try to make new things also. I want to get into taking care of an infant because I want to learn what it’s like to care for someone much younger and new to the world. I have so much love for baby’s and I know understand that the parents might need a bit of help around the house an with the kids I want to be that person that the parents can count on. I’m not saying I’m perfect but I do everything in my power to do what is asked of me an what i know I can do.
