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 Rylee, I’m 21 and I’ve always loved working with kids, childcare has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a big family with five younger siblings, including a toddler who just turned three, so I’ve grown up helping with little kids every day. From 12–16, I regularly babysat for friends and families in my community, and at church, which helped me build patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills.
I later worked at my local YMCA daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with groups of children, daily routines and fun age-appropriate activities. When I turned 18, I also worked as a live-in nanny for a year. I know basic baby sign language and enjoy using it to help babies communicate their needs before they can talk. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive environment for children of all ages. I also was CPR certified but it expired I would be willing to get it renewed if needed.

Hi, I’m Ellie!! I’m 19 years old originally from Oklahoma and I’ve been caring for children since I was about 12 years old! From babysitting and church nurseries to professional nannying and caring for infants, I’ve truly found my passion in helping little ones learn, grow, and feel loved! I’m CPR certified, dependable, organized, and believe childhood should be filled with adventures, creativity, and lots of laughter!! Whether we’re doing crafts, reading books, dancing in the living room, exploring outside, or creating fun sensory activities, I love making each day exciting while keeping safety my top priority. My background in household management and event planning has also made me great at staying organized, communicating with parents, and keeping busy households running smoothly. I can’t wait to become a trusted part of your family and create a safe, happy, and encouraging environment where your kiddos can thrive!
