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.

I have been babysitting a little boy lately that is going to be 4 years old in May. I started babysitting him since he was 6 months old. If you need a reference, they will give one.

A little bit about me
I started babysitting for family friends at age 12. Starting this early in child care paved a path to where I am today. I am certified in early childhood care and education. I have spent the past 2 years as a student assistant in a preschool working with kids ages 3-5. I have cared for infants as young as 4 months and children ages 10+.
I love to cook and bake. Being in the kitchen has always been a passion of mine.
I am excited to see what the future holds!
