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! I am an extremely experienced nanny, mother and grandmother (fully vaccinated!) who has worked over 10+ years being a nanny to multiple children of all ages. I'm well-educated in child care and development and comfortable in caring for more than one child. Watching children achieve learning skills and developing into their own person has been a privilege knowing I've been a part of. Teaching and caring is what I'm happy to share with your child. I love working one on one playing games, solving puzzles, working on arts and crafts, and reading books to help expand their imagination and learning skills. I can provide transportation, pre-pare meals and happy to help with light house keeping. I'm a very friendly, out-going, responsible, trustworthy, reliable, punctual, and very caring person that loves taking care of children. I'm available immediately and looks for a full-time or part-time position. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. And would love to be your nanny!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Brooke, I'm 18 and I live in White Lake. I plan on going to college for Early Childhood Education. My goal is to be a Kindergarten teacher. I'm looking for a new full time job as the family I've been watching for the past 2+ years is moving. They think around mid-July so that’s when I’m looking to start. I've always been happiest holding a baby in my arms. I truly have a passion for caring for children and am very experienced. I promise to provide a safe and secure but fun environment for your children! I am energetic, kind, and I would like to say I'm semi-good at baby talk! I can help children with homework, or cook a nice meal, or do something extra laundry you need done! I have my own car. Let me know if you want more information!

My name is Kylee. I am looking for a full time nanny position. I was a toddler daycare teacher for two years, I have also worked in infant and preschool rooms! I just made the transition to nannying about a year ago, working with a newborn and a toddler. I love to spend time outdoors, do art projects, sing songs and find fun new things to do each day. My daycare background also provided me with a curriculum to follow. I have done many certifications and trainings in infant/toddler education and safety. I am also CPR certified. I am happy to help with laundry, meal prep and any tidying up you need. I look forwarding to hearing from you!
