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’m a warm, energetic, creative, and dependable person who genuinely loves being around children and creating an environment where they feel safe, encouraged, and confident. I have experience caring for and working with children ranging from newborns through age 12.
I was previously the owner of a dance studio, where I had more than 150 children coming through my doors each week. That experience gave me years of hands-on experience connecting with children of all different ages and personalities.
Whether it’s playing outside, doing a craft, helping with homework, getting little ones on a routine, or simply being there for the everyday moments, I enjoy making children feel seen, valued, and cared for.
I’ll be moving to Granbury, Tx, and I’m looking for the right family and nanny position for the 2027 season. I would love the opportunity to build a lasting relationship with a family who is looking for someone genuinely invested in their children.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Angel, 24 year old single momma of a 5 year old little boy named AJ.
I will be honest I do not have “degrees” for kid care nor did I take classes, but my mom and bonus family have adopted children from ages 0months-8 and as the older sister/TT/“momma”. I’ve taken care of every single one of those babies as my own. As well as I was the one taking care of every single child that crossed my path within my family and even those I did not know, i absolutely love and adore all aged children. I have always been “momma or big sissy” to those I’ve taken care of. I am first aid and cpr certified, I can take a drug test if needed for your comfort. I have only baby sat children outside of my direct family 3-4 times but I’m happy to give numbers and name to call and get any reassurance needed or have any of your questions answered. I know it’s a lot I just want to make sure all the details and honesty is set out as it should be. Thank you very much in advance.
