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.

Hi! My name is Taylor Schmidt. I recently moved to Corvallis after getting married and graduated this past May from Missouri State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. Over the past five years, I've gained extensive experience working with children through my degree program, teaching at a preschool, and babysitting for many wonderful families. My husband and I moved to Oregon to be part of a church plant, and I'm excited for the opportunity to serve and support local families as a full-time nanny. Also, my CPR and First Aid certifications recently expired, I'm currently in the process of renewing them. Reach out if you have any questions at all!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Ashley, and I'm a student at Oregon State University with a passion for working with children. I've been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old, giving me years of experience caring for kids of all ages. Growing up in a large family, I've always been surrounded by children and naturally took on the role of entertaining, teaching, and caring for my younger relatives.
In addition to childcare, I've worked as a math tutor for several years, helping students build confidence in subjects ranging from Algebra to AP Calculus. My experience has taught me patience, effective communication, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique learning style and personality.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Haya! I’ve been working with children for the past 4 years, both through babysitting and at a local summer school program. There, I guided students through arts, STEM, and cooking activities. I supervised groups throughout the day, and helped ensure everything ran smoothly.
I speak 3 languages, which had been a great way to connect with kids from different backgrounds. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and fun. I enjoy planning activities that keep kids engaged, whether it’s being creative, exploring outdoors, or helping with homework.
I am comfortable helping kids get ready in the mornings, guiding routines like bedtime, planning meals, and supporting them throughout the day. Safety is always my top priority.
I look forward to getting to know your family and making your child’s time with me both safe and enjoyable
