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! I’m an experienced educator with many years of working with children, and I’m looking for a part-time nanny position. After years in education, I’m interested in something where I can focus my attention on one child or a small family rather than an entire classroom.

I especially love working with babies and young children and would be very happy caring for an infant. I genuinely enjoy all of the little everyday parts of baby care—holding and comforting them, bottles and feeding, tummy time, reading, playing, walks, naps, and supporting their development as they grow.

As a former teacher, I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and very comfortable creating age-appropriate activities and routines. I also understand child development and know how important it is for children to feel safe, secure, and cared for.

Most importantly, I’m looking for a family where I can build a trusting relationship and become someone both the parents and their little one are genuinely happy to see. ❤️

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a college student at FAU and will be home for the summer! I am a substitute teacher while at school and have been babysitting since high school so I am around kids constantly. I have a pretty flexible schedule but I do only have one extra seat in my car so if driving is needed I can only transport one child in my own vehicle.

A little bit about me

I've been passionate about working with children & infants for as long as I can remember... Since having my youngest and returning to the workplace, I've been working in a learning center setting. I have recently moved to the Valrico area and took my courses to receive my CDA. I have been CPR certified for over a decade (renewed every 2 years). I'm comfortable with animals and doing any housework. I have reliable transportation and a perfect driving record! I'm experienced in working with special needs children and know a vast majority of basic ASL for any nonverbal children. I'm blessed with having a lot of energy and I live a very active lifestyle- helps me keep up with kids of all energy levels!

In my spare time, I like to garden, take my kids to the beach or park and just spending time outdoors. I was in theater in high school- so I love singing and dancing. I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes!

I have personal and professional references that I'm happy to provide!
