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 there!
My name is MacKenzy! I am a firm believer Jesus Christ & His word. Every child needs to feel the love of Jesus! I would love to get to know your family and provide care for your kiddo(s) while you work, travel, go out etc.! I adore children. I also know it's important to enjoy time together and invite proper routines and discipline in the home as you raise a healthy human!
I am honored you took the time to learn more about me and consider me to join your family's story.

I grew up babysitting & caring for kids. I've spent over 5 years helping in nursery or preschool rooms at my church on Sundays. I've worked in direct care with foster youth and I was a full-time nanny for a toddler for over a year. I can't get enough time with kiddos!

I graduated from Central Michigan with a B.S. in Psychology, focus: Family Studies & American Sign Language.

Did you know many kids who learn ASL pick up on language quicker than if they did not?

I'd love to chat more! Thank you :)
