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
Hello, my name is Samantha, and I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom and homeschooler to two wonderful boys—ages 5 months and 6 years. I bring several years of hands-on childcare experience, having worked as a nanny from 2019 to 2021 and as the owner and operator of Sommers Childcare LLC from 2021 to 2025.
I am currently seeking a nanny position with a family that is open to me bringing my children along. Their presence will not interfere with the quality of care I provide—I’m highly skilled at balancing responsibilities while creating a nurturing and structured environment for all children in my care.
Throughout the years, I’ve worked with children ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, focusing on both care and education. I’d love to support a family that values meaningful play, hands-on learning, and limited to no screen time.

My name is Mary and I am a senior at Goucher. I am studying Spanish and peace studies. I have worked with kids for six years, starting as a lifeguard turned babysitter for many families within the neighborhood. I have also done lighthousekeeping work for a family in addition to babysitting a few times a week. I myself had a nanny for many years when I was growing up, so I know how important it is to have someone that fits well within your family and the impact that nannies have on kids for their whole life. I love doing arts and crafts, going for adventures, encouraging kids to explore interests and learn new things. I am also happy to help with homework and school transportation!
