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

Hello! My name is Haley and I am looking for either an occasional babysitting job or a reoccurring nanny job. I am open to hours and pay as of right now.

I'd describe my personality as fun, caring, and kind!

I like working with kids because kids bring joy into peoples lives and I love being the joy to bring to that kid as well.

I'm looking for a kind family to have some fun with.

I have been babysitting ever since I was young of all different ages. I have also worked in a preschool and mainly worked with 3-year-olds but occasionally worked with the 2 and 4 years olds.

In my spare time, I like to read, write, and draw!

One thing you should know about me is I am a very sweet, kind person. I love to cook (I have cooked in a restaurant) and I am willing to cook meals and clean around the house.

My skills include helping kids feel understood and calm, making kids happy, and making fun activities for the kids.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Maripaz, I’m 23 years old (turning 24 soon), and I am a Radiology student. I am fully bilingual and have extensive experience working with children from newborns to 3-year-olds.
I’ve worked as a nanny for two years, served in a preschool setting, and have also supported many families, including my own. I truly love children; I have a strong protective instinct and a lot of love to share. ☺️
My certifications are currently expired, but I am more than happy to renew them if needed—I have no problem with that at all. I had stepped away from childcare for a couple of years, but I want to return now because it allows me to balance my studies with a more flexible and fulfilling environment. I find that working with children provides a sense of peace and creativity that I truly value while I complete my degree.
