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, Families!
I’m a warm, dependable, and caring nanny with experience caring for children from infancy through high school. As the oldest of five siblings, I’ve spent over 20 years caring for children and truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and thrive.
In addition to caring for family members, neighbors, and family friends, I have professional experience as a paraprofessional working with 3rd-5th grade students. I’m also CPR/AED certified, and I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and loved.
I believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and guidance, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing a child’s smile and knowing I’ve made a positive difference in their day. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s support system!
