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.

Hello! My name is Bre. I've been in the childcare field for about five years now, working at a preschool and nannying for families here and there. I'm currently on the pursuit of becoming a dentist. I'm dedicated to working hard, but I miss the playfulness and spirit that comes from being around kids. I've had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I love hiking, crafts, reading, and cooking! I'm a pretty bubbly and open-minded individual, so I'm completely comfortable implementing any specific ideas you may have. I cherish what I do and carry myself well. I'm very pet friendly and can provide care for all of your furry friends as well.
