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.

Hi my name is Lindsey and I have been a nanny for about one year but have plenty years of experience with babysitting. Right now I am with a family who sadly I am having to leave but have a full year of infant experience. A little bit about myself I am in a nursing program and do online school and am a newlywed. I am the sole provider for my family and would love to make a difference to a family around me. I am CPR and first aid certified. I love being outside with kids doing things such as going on walks, taking them to the park, doing arts and crafts, going to the zoo, etc. I am looking for a full time position.
