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

Hi! I’m Amanda. I really enjoy being around kids and try to bring a calm, playful energy wherever I go.

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.

Recent reference

"I am pleased to recommend Amanda for a nanny position. I have had the opportunity to see her care for my children over the past several years, and she has consistently proven to be responsible, caring, and dependable. She has a natural ability to connect with children and creates a safe, nurturing environment. She is energetic, playful, and genuinely enjoys engaging with children through activities, games, and everyday learning opportunities. At the same time, she is patient, gentle, and attentive, always taking the time to listen to children and respond to their needs with kindness and understanding. She has also helped with childcare responsibilities, including occasional daycare pick-ups and drop-offs, and I have always felt completely confident in her care. My children absolutely adore her and frequently ask when they will get to spend time with her again. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy, loving, and capable caregiver."

A little bit about me

Hello Families!
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.
