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.

I’ve worked as a DCFS licensed in home daycare provider for 35 years working with kids 6 weeks to 5 years. I also have experience with special needs. I loved my job but have since moved here to Florida and looking to work with kids again!
I gave a loving learning environment for each child to reach their milestones at their own pace. I prepared a preschool lesson daily for a mixed range of ages. I love to sing, read, and play each day with lots of outdoor time!
I had 6 children of various ages everyday to care for. I took care of their daily needs such as preparing nutritious meals and snacks, bottles, naps, free play and activities. As well as letting parents know how their day went both verbally and written.
I’m hoping to be able to help out families again and take part in watching their children grow.
