What drives the price

Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

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

My name is Jessica, and I am a proud mom to two beautiful daughters, ages 6 and 12. Family is a huge part of my life. I come from a large family with six brothers, and I'm also a proud aunt to six nephews and four nieces.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, water sports, dancing, and planning memorable parties and gatherings for my loved ones. I love bringing people together and creating fun, meaningful experiences.

Professionally, I currently work as a recruiter, where I've developed strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills. While I enjoy helping people find employment, I'm looking to transition into a career where I can make a more direct impact. My passion is working hands-on with children, and I'm excited to pursue opportunities that allow me to support their growth, development, and well-being while making a positive difference in their lives.
