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

I am the middle child of 16 kids! 6 of them are younger than me and I raised them since they were very young able to walk or as small as a newborn. I just moved to Greer SC i originally came from asheville Nc! I love cars, nature, helping others, and traveling. I am in college i attend blue ridge community college in Flat Rock NC. I can accept $18-$20+/hr so I am flexible! I love little kids a ton & they’re a reminder of my memories with my little siblings so i enjoy it a lot! I love being able to connect with kids and help them in any way i can. I miss my siblings a ton but also miss them being smaller so anytime i can connect with children it’s like seeing my siblings again. Sometimes people don’t realize that just with a bit of patience & listening with their heart not just their ears can go a long way. Children just want to be seen & want to know that from you so when an individual can display that….the children feels more safe & that’s what it’s all about.
