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
Hello Parents! My name is Frida, I am a Mexican bilingual (English/Spanish) 24 Year old female. I first started working with children in October of 2021 with a company called Troop Educators, I enjoyed my time working as a substitute teacher, primarily working with children in K-5th grade. I stayed there for about a year and decided to get back into child care! I am really passionate about caring and nurturing children in a safe environment, creating the space I yearned for when I was younger. Where they can laugh, be confident, be themselves! I currently work at an in home daycare, caring for four children all around 1 years old. I’m very comfortable changing diapers, assisting with meals and maintaining a clean environment. I am a very strict rule follower, I do not like feeling like I am doing something wrong and I am very comfortable/accepting of constructive feedback!
Some things I enjoy are:
Puzzles, Reading, Hiking, Crocheting (Currently working on Mizuchi from Bob’s Burgers!)

A little bit about me
I am first-aid and cpr certified. I'm a loving, caring, and compassionate nanny with over 7 years of experience working with newborn, toddler, preschooler and school going children. I'm very passionate about kids and love them like my own. I have experience in all tasks related to kids, including bathing them, playing with them, engaging them in activities, feeding them, ensuring their complete cleanliness and well-being. I'm sincere, reliable and punctual. I'm extremely good with children. I don't just look at this as a job but a responsibility. Childcare is a noble profession which requires patience, kindness and all it takes to help nurture the child for a brighter tomorrow. I'm also a tutor so I can help with homework, if required.
I am very loving, patient and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. Babysitting is something I love doing because everyday is different and new and it’s amazing being part of a child learning and growing as a person.
