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 Peyton, I have always had a passion for working with kids and known I wanted to teach elementary school since I was little. I have helped direct the drama club at sea breeze elementary for 3 years, did an internship at beaches chapel school for a semester and I am a life group leader for the 4th and 5th grade girls at my church (beach church). I have a little sister who is 10 years old and she is my whole world. I have been around kids for years whether it be babysitting, my sister and her friends, or at the different schools I have volunteered at. As of right now I am working at a restaurant and have come to the conclusion that I don't have to wait until I'm done with my degree to work with kids, which is why I want to nanny.
