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.

I love taking care and playing with kids, by taking take of my young sister for six years, and littler cousins throughout my life I have created a special spot in my heart for nurturing, and being actively involved in their development. I’m a fun, responsible, and energetic girl. I love the outdoors and I can even add some educational activities in there. One of my big passions is cooking and baking and I absolutely love involving the kids in the fun aspects of it, whether it’s making up silly songs, helping with homework, or preparing yummy snacks, or even tidying up the place I am always willing to help around in any way possible while always creating a safe, happy, and engaging space. I’m more than happy to provide follow up details via phone or call text during the day and inform you of anything that comes up.
