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 Perla! I grew up in a close-knit family where I was always surrounded by younger cousins and siblings. Helping care for them sparked my interest in child development early on. I have experience with taking care of my 6 month year old nephew occasionally when both of my brother or sister in law is working are working. I have volunteered and worked in many after school programs. I also serve at my local church as a Sunday school teacher and our annual VBS (Vacation Bible School) 4 day event, creating a space for kids to learn, build relationships, and engage in craftsmanship. I’m a naturally patient and upbeat, which has always helped me connect easily with kids of all ages. In my free time, I enjoy serving for my church, arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor activities, all of which I love incorporating into the time I spend with children. I believe in creating joyful, stimulating environments where kids feel seen, heard, and encouraged to grow.

Recent reference

"Susan has been with our family since July 2024, when Hunter was just 7 months old. Over the past year she has truly become part of our family. We’re now transitioning Hunter into school because he’s eager to be around other kids, but we’ll still be keeping Susan for days and nights when we need a break. She has given so much to Hunter’s growth. She practiced with him every day until he was walking confidently by 9 months. She’s taught him structure at mealtime so he sits and eats without running around. She’s even introduced him to Spanish words and songs, which he loves. We’re so grateful for her care, patience, and consistency. Susan is warm, reliable, and genuinely invested in children’s development. Any family would be lucky to have her."
