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
Having my own twin boys and later a little girl 20 years ago, pushed me to dedicated my life to the ones I love the most....my family.
I've been a stayed home mom and I don't regret it.
Taking care of my house and my children is one of the best choices I've made.
Now they're grown up I feel I can help someone else out there and make some extra money to contribute to my house. I've some college hours but didn't pursue a degree.
I've work very short periods of time at different children care facilities as well.
I grown up in Mexico so Spanish language is my strongest one.
I understand, write and speak English almost fluently....still learning.
I love animals specially dogs and cats.
I'm ready and excited to serve your family.
