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 yvette and caring for children has been my career and my passion for over 17 years. I own and operated my own licensed daycare/preschool for 10 years, where I created a loving, structured environment for use on learning through play, kindness, creativity and outdoor exploration. I believe childhood should be filled with books, messy art projects, nature walks, laughter and hands on learning not screens. My goal is to help children feel safe, confident and excited to learn while giving parents complete peace of mind. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized and someone who truly loves what she does. I’m looking forward to becoming a trusted part of a family’s team and creating meaningful memories together.
