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

Hey! I’m Pricilla and I do enjoy taking care of children. I have online school, I may change my schedule every month due to zoom classes. I have a good reputation with kids, including those of family friends, they tend to like me but if they don't trust me right away I give them their space and don't force them to talk to me or play with me if they don't want to. I was the unofficial babysitter at parties, usually because I wanted to be away from the loud music. During school I was often sat next to the Special Education kids so I've interacted positively with them, I was their friend and understood them to the best of my ability. They ranged from autism to physical disabilities to severe anger issues. I also have a few current friends who have autism and ADHD. I may not know everything about it but I always try to be as understanding as possible.
