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, my name is PJ. I am a family oriented man. I come from a family of 11 and I have 3 children of my own as well. I began working with children a little over 5 years ago after graduating college. I changed my major in school after taking 1 class about child development. It was then that I knew children’s development and growth intrigued me and I found a passion for it. I currently work as a behavioral technician. When it comes to caring for any children, I will most definitely focus on the child’s developmental milestones as well as your average care. I am a kind, patient, honest and responsible individual. If there’s any thing else specific you may like to know; please do not hesitate, me anything. Thank you kindly.
