Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-time 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 full-time 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

Caring for children has been one of my greatest passions since I began working as a nanny in eighth grade. Over the years, I’ve cared for children ranging from just four days old to 12 years, supporting families with two to six children.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Biochemistry, maintain BLS certification, and am continuing my education toward a career in nursing.

I believe every child deserves to feel valued, understood, and encouraged to explore their unique interests. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, outdoor adventures, and fun! As a horse owner, I also love animals and the homestead lifestyle.

Above all, I consider it a privilege to become a trusted part of a family’s life. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are receiving genuine affection, patience, and attentive care.

Recent reference

"Lizbeth cared for my son from age 5.5 months to 10.5 months. Her responsibilities included playing with him, helping him nap (he needed to be held or have someone in the room with him during naps), taking him for walks in his stroller, feeding him milk and then food after 6 months of age, administering supplements for tummy and teething aches, cleaning up after him, washing bottles, reading to him, singing songs, washing, drying, sorting, folding or hanging his laundry including cloth diapers. She helped in teaching him to sit up, crawl and stand up, walking while assisted, and we started on helping him sit down from standing. We speak English in our household but I know some Spanish from grade school through college. My Spanish is not very good and I was very rusty but Lizbeth helped me and my son by speaking Spanish and by understanding and speaking English. She is very happy, energetic, cheerful. She did overtime often and was flexible with my changing schedule, arriving early AM."
