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 worked as a backpacking guide with teens, at sleepaway summer camps, and as a middle school social worker, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy chaos to big feelings and quieter moments in between. I also have my Wilderness First Aid certification, which has helped me feel confident staying steady and responsible in any situation.
When I’m with kids, I like keeping things fun and simple (arts and crafts, dress-up and imagination games, reading stories, and spending time outside running around or playing). I grew up playing soccer, so I’m always happy to get outside and be active too.
I’m also an aunt to a 2-month-old, 2-year-old, and 5-year-old, which has given me a lot of recent experience with babies and little ones.
I care a lot about kids feeling safe and being themselves. I’m also always happy to be silly along the way.

A little bit about me
My name is Leah Golden, and I am currently studying Recreational Therapy through Brigham Young University Idaho’s online program. I love spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and my family and friends would describe me as kind and outgoing.
I have 11 years of experience in the care field, working with children, young adults with special needs, and seniors. One of the things I love most about caregiving is helping others build confidence in their unique talents and abilities. I find deep joy in supporting and inspiring children as they grow socially, physically, intellectually, and emotionally. In my experience, there is no work more rewarding.
I strive to create an environment that is safe, positive, and fun, one that encourages freedom within limits, continual learning, and unconditional love.
