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 Katelyn and I have over 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience and have become best friends with all the littles I have worked with. I’m the eldest sister of 3 younger siblings, two of which are 11 and 15 years younger than me and where my story all begins. Becoming a built in babysitter was the greatest job I never knew I needed. It gave me a true sense of purpose and gave me a glimpse of what life might be like one day. Over the years, friends and family started asking me to also watch their children and often times I would bring my siblings and watch 4 or 5 kids at once. This really encouraged me, so I began advertising myself to friends of friends and finding my own jobs. I babysat for many families regularly and have always been very reliable and responsible. Being a babysitter/nanny is such a rewarding and fulfilling job and I’d love to be part of your story.

A little bit about me

Hi my names Haley a 20 year old
I’m currently in school, trying to get my GED. So I can do better things
I’ve been taking care of Kids since I was 15.
My mom’s friend would take them home and I would be responsible for their food in activities. Including my brother who’s currently 9yrs I would take care of him since my mom brought him home I would change his dipper, I would shower him I would prepare everything etc. while my mom would go to work I would stay with my grandma she was also a help.
Since that day I loved taking care of kids, I would provide anything I need to for me. Having a connection with your child it’s a top because I want nothing but that best for him/her.
