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.

Friendly and outgoing young lady who loves being surrounded by people of all ages! I'm extremely adaptable to different life styles and love care taking! I enjoy outdoor activities and try to exclude screen time out of my life as much as possible!

I am extremely disciplined in all aspects of my life and am learning to better myself day by day by a well balanced life!

I do own Jack (7) and Plum (1). Two dogs that I've raised on my own and love dearly. I enjoy taking them to the park and on long hikes!

I grew up horseback riding and dancing and followed through with those sports until then end of high-school!

I have 5 nieces and 1 nephew who I also have spend a lot of time with in their years growing up. They are the ages of 4-15! So, It's safe to say I'm extremely patient!
