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.

"My family has been so fortunate and blessed to have Chelsea as our ongoing and most reliable caregiver for all 3 of our kids. (Ages 2/3 and 5) Having a background in childcare and teaching I know my babies are taken care of by her as she has been properly trained and continues to educate herself in all things children. She provides a safe and caring space for my kids while teaching them. I give her massive credit for potty training and teaching my kids letters, how to spell their names and the most adorable crafts! Whether it’s a pop up date night, a weekend overnight or even pet and house sitting she is the most trustworthy person. We love having you Chelsea as an extension to our family and you get a 10/10 from us!"

I have been a nanny off and on since I was 18. I stopped nannying when I started having children of my own. Now all three of my children are in school. I would really love to go back and take care of a younger child again. The one thing, in my life, that I have had a lot of experience with would be taking care of children.
