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.

Hi my name is Camryn! My passion in life is and has been children. I admire their creativity and endless energy. I hope not only to teach every child I meet something but also learn something from them. Some of the most important lessons I’ve learned came from the mind of a child. I currently work with children through a non-profit, however we do not work year round and I get the summers and holidays off. I would like to help through these next few months as my schedule is completely open.
I hope to bring another source of joy into your home with my experience and passion.

My husband and I moved to Port Angeles a year and a half ago from Houston, Texas. I have been my husband's grandmother's caregiver since moving to Washington. We lived with them and I did all the house work. Including cooking all the meals. My jobs besides caregiving were always in the restaurant industry. Ready to try something new.
