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 was a 911 medic for Beaumont, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to care for people of all ages, including helping and caring for many children. I’ve also babysat outside of work and genuinely enjoy being around kids.
I was diagnosed with cancer in March, and while I’m going through treatment, I’m trying to find some work that I can do when I’m able. I’d love the opportunity to help out families in the area with babysitting or childcare.
I’m responsible, caring, CPR/first-aid experienced, and I’m used to staying calm and handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and trust the person caring for their kids.
I’d really love to meet you and your amazing kiddos! ❤️ If you’re looking for someone to babysit or need some extra help, please feel free to message me. I’d be happy to talk and see if I’m a good fit for your family! 😊
