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’ve raised 4 children of my own, they’re all grown and not living at home.
I have taken care of/babysat my grandkids in between jobs.
I’m use to working overnight when I care for my elderly patients. So this job would be perfect.
I have excellent references from families that I’ve cared for their loved ones.
I can provide those at time of interview if you’d like to check my references.
When I care for my patients I am awake all night, even though at times family gives you the option of staying awake or sleeping.
I feel that I’m getting paid to watch over that patient and if I’m asleep anything could happen; especially if they have Dementia or Alzheimer’s.
I am a very responsible, patient, trustworthy person with many years of experience in caring for the elderly.
Thank you for your time, and hopefully you will choose me for the job.
