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 Jessica Hiller and I am 19 years old. I have been working with children since I was young and love it each time. I love to introduce children to a world of creativity and safe adventures. I believe the most important things are keeping a positive and safe environment and good communication. Although I am 19, I love to connect with my own inner child and do childish activities that engage children of all ages. I believe I have a very vivid imagination, but at the same time safety and being cautious are priorities!
