Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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
At school, I’ve taken and successfully completed an Early Childhood Education course, and I also volunteer in the COOP childcare program, where I work closely with younger children. This has given me the opportunity to learn important skills like child safety, planning activities, and creating a fun and supportive environment.
I truly love spending time with kids—whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or just making them laugh. I always aim to be someone both children and parents can trust. I’d be happy to be a positive and reliable helper for your family!
