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 am a mother of 4 adult kids and grandmother to 13. I love to sing, dance , teach, and play with children. I am an outdoorsy kind of person. I love walking, hiking and swimming. Being around horses are a joy to me. I am a great mom’s helper. Indoors I like to play games and do puzzles. Reading books and tutoring kids with reading, spelling and other basic skills are fun to me.
I also enjoy cleaning. I am a good organizer. I clean windows, sweep , mop, dust, laundry, dishes.
However, I can’t be around a cat box. The ammonia smell makes me sick. Otherwise, I take my job seriously and professionally. I am a compassionate, loving and honest, thoughtful, trustworthy Christian woman who would love to help you and your family out caring for your baby and cleaning.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello I am Catalina Chiappardi. I do not smoke. I am 26 years old and have been working with kids for around 14 years now.I enjoy working with kids and love doing fun activities with them be it arts and crafts or helping to make homework seem fun so they get it done. I learned from my grandmother who was a Nanny she took me with her on every job and when I was old enough she taught me everything she knew from ways to teach kids their shapes in a fun way to making a sad child happy. I have already earned three child care certifications in high school through my early childhood class.I did CPR, first AID, and AED training however those certificates will need to be renewed as they are annual.

A little bit about me

I'm 56 and retired from the state of Florida Long-term care Ombudsman Program in Gulf Breeze. I graduated from University of West Florida with a BS in Social Sciences. While in college I worked as a nanny for many families. I was a live in nanny to 3 children with a set of twin girls. I was a nanny to this family for over 7 years. I've also raised 2 sons.
I am having my house built so I may, possibly, consider a live-in position in Navarre, or the Milton area.
I've had my CPR/ First Aid Certifications . However, I will have the updated and become certified.

I have experience working with a wide variety of age groups. I currently work at a Montessori school in their after-school program.

On top of that, I have worked with other age groups as well with babysitting. I’m also the eldest of 3 and have been helping to care for my siblings since my ton brother was born. I have cared for children up to 12 years of age.
