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

I worked in a hospital for years as office staff where I developed patience, responsibility and teamwork. Although I haven't worked as a professional nanny, I have many years of hands-on childcare experience. I helped care for my two nieces and one nephew while my twin sister worked as a cabin steward on a cruise ship. I helped with their daily routines, meals, homework, and made sure they were always safe and well cared for.

Today, they have all graduated from college and are pursuing their own careers, which is something I'm very proud of.

I am kind, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely enjoy caring for children. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for your family.
