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
Hi, my name is Macie. I’m a recent high school graduate with a strong passion for working with children. My favorite color is navy blue — a color I associate with calmness, trust, and care, which are qualities I bring into every childcare environment.
My goal in life is to positively impact children’s lives, especially by providing the kind of support and care I needed growing up but didn’t always receive. My own childhood was challenging, and those experiences have shaped me into someone who’s deeply compassionate, patient, and understanding — especially when it comes to the emotional needs of kids.
As a nanny, I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun space where children feel seen, heard, and loved. I take pride in being reliable, kind, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, encouraging creativity, or simply being a consistent, caring presence, I’m committed to making a meaningful difference in their lives.
