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

Hi! I’m Nami, a sophomore at Coastal Carolina University studying Psychology, and I’m looking to take on babysitting jobs around the Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach area. I started babysitting during my junior year of high school and also help take care of my younger sister, so I’m used to being hands-on and responsible with kids.
I have reliable transportation and can help with things beyond basic childcare, including homework help, simple meals, and light household chores. I’m organized, patient, and easy to communicate with. My schedule is open all day Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’m in class from 8–11 AM.
If you need a dependable sitter, feel free to message me and I can provide refrences as well!
