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

Hi! My name is Kerra, and I’ve been working with children for several years both professionally and personally. Growing up as the middle child in a large family, I naturally took on a caregiving role—helping raise my younger siblings and even supporting my older ones when needed. That early experience helped me build strong instincts in nurturing, problem-solving, and maintaining a fun, structured environment. I’m known for my high energy, positive attitude, and the genuine connection I build with kids—something that seems to come naturally. I believe in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I’d love the opportunity to bring that energy and care into your home I am currently a college student studying medicine and I’m 20 years old
