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 am a 17 year old girl who knew from a very young age what her vocation was, which is to care for children and help families in need.

I have a 9 year old little brother who I adore, and have been babysitting since he was 5.

I love Disney classics, chocolate chip cookies, singing, and making sure that my loved ones are always safe and happy.

Caring for little ones is the kind of job that I know will enjoy and work hard for, no matter the circumstances.

Hi! My name is Kayla Potwin, I am 20 years old and am a student at UVU! I am wanting to go into social working and I love working with kids!

Being a nanny is so fun and building a good, fun, and supportive relationship with kids and parents is so important. I have a 2 year old and 10 year old niece as well so I am comfortable with all age groups! I have also worked with kiddos from the age range of 11months-5 years old professionally and very occasionally babysit my 2 nieces as well. I also love pets and wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on them too!
