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 background includes working in a classroom as a teachers aid in a private preschool. I supported teachers, helped coordinate care between staff and parents, and insured a positive, safe learning environment. I am CPR certified currently in the process of becoming first aid certified, have my own reliable transport, along with being very comfortable with pets.
I’m also happy to help with house hold tasks, from meal prep to cleaning. I love finding engaging ways to connect with kids though learning activities and play time!
