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 Jocelene Boudiab, and I am currently a junior at Kennesaw State University majoring in Marketing through online courses. I have always loved working with kids and have been babysitting since 8th grade. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

Growing up with a disabled father gave me experience not only caring for children, but also helping care for adults, which taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and maturity from a young age. I understand the importance of being dependable and attentive, and I always strive to make both children and parents feel comfortable and supported.

Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping kids entertained with activities, preparing meals, or simply being someone parents and kids can trust and feel safe around, I always put my full effort into providing the best care possible!

I am a mother to two beautiful daughters, ages 7 and 10, and have stayed home with them for the last 9 years. I taught gymnastics to children 12m-6y for a few years and ran a small preschool with a couple of neighborhood children during covid. We did themed weeks with learning, games, arts and crafts and play. I have been room mom for both girls since they were in moms morning out beginning in 2018 until this past school year. I have also served on the PTO board at the elementary school and volunteered in the nursery at church. I love children and am a firm believer of hands on learning and experiences over devices. I am recently divorced and looking to fill my time with something that will help fill my cup.
