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 am a dedicated and nurturing individual with over 20 years of hands-on experience raising my four children—three of whom are now grown, and one who is 12 years old. Being a stay-at-home mom has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, and the ability to manage a busy household with care and compassion.

Over the years, I’ve also worked on and off in various roles, which has helped me maintain a strong work ethic and adaptability. I truly enjoy caring for infants and young children and understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for them to thrive.

I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and have a genuine love for children. I would be honored to bring my experience and heart into a role where I can support families and help care for their little ones as if they were my own.
