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
My name is Tyanne! I recently graduated from Utah State University with bachelor degrees in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis in Child Development and in Communication Disorders. I love teaching children and seeing them light up when they learn something new or participate in new experiences. I have worked at several different daycare centers over the last few years and have been a nanny for 2 different families. One family had a 1 & 3 year old and the other family had a 6 & 9 year old. I most recently have been a speech therapy assistant supporting students in Kindergarten-8th grade at a local charter school. I’m excited to get to know you and your family!
