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 Daniela, and I’m a dentist from Peru currently offering child care and pet care services. I’m responsible, reliable, organized, creative, and caring. I have experience taking care of my 2-year-old niece and enjoy playing, talking, dancing, and making children feel safe and loved. I grew up with three brothers and many cousins and nephews, so I was often the one caring for them. I love dancing and believe it brings joy and positive energy to kids. I also enjoy cooking and can help with simple meals. I provide pet care as well—I grew up with more than three dogs and five cats and feel calm and happy around animals. I speak Spanish as my first language and also speak English. Whether you need someone gentle and fun with your children or loving and dependable with your pets, I’d be happy to help.
