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
In addition to providing attentive childcare, I'm happy to assist with healthy meal preparation, children's laundry, light housekeeping, errands, grocery shopping, school pickups, and keeping the household running smoothly. I understand that supporting the entire family helps make everyday life less stressful.
I pride myself on being patient, reliable, punctual, and professional. I value open communication with parents and strive to follow each family's routines and parenting style while ensuring children feel safe, engaged, and cared for.
I'm looking for a family that values trust, consistency, and someone who will treat their home with respect. I look forward to building a long-term relationship where I can become a dependable part of your family's daily life.
