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.

I’m 16 years old with 4 years of babysitting experience, from ages 2-7. I am CPR certified, worked at a children’s day camp, and can watch pets as well (sole caregiver to dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, rodents, fish, etc). I am also very responsible, with a 5.0 GPA at my high school, and am dual enrolled at a community college with all A’s. Have been on the varsity ski team since freshman year, and play 3 other sports not including that. Worked for free at 12 yrs old and started my first part-time job at 14. Am willing to work mostly on Fridays and the weekends, though other arrangements can be made depending on what is needed. Thank you!!
