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
I love cooking, cleaning, painting, going on walks, and riding bikes during my free time. One of the things that brings me the most joy is being around children. I have always been great with kids, and I love seeing them smile, learn, and feel happy and safe. I enjoy being someone they can trust and feel comfortable around.
At this stage in my life, I am focused on beginning a new journey and building a meaningful career working with children. I would love the opportunity to use my patience, kindness, and nurturing personality to make a positive impact in the lives of kids and their families while continuing to grow personally and professionally.

A little bit about me
I have experience with children of all ages, having worked as both an afterschool counselor and a daycare attendant in Tampa. I currently work part-time at the YMCA doing childcare. I also really enjoy tasks such as laundry or light cleaning, so I am willing to help out with house chores! I was in band all throughout middle and high school so I am definitely interested in music, and I love doing crafty activities and helping out with reading, homework, and other school activities.
I love getting to hang out with kids and having fun with them. I have a relatively open schedule so I can be flexible with hours.
I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have my own car! Please reach out if interested and I look forward to getting to work with your family!
