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
I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience as a Youth Counselor at Woodward Academy, working with children and teens with behavioral challenges, developmental disabilities, and unique emotional needs. I also have in-home care experience with individuals ranging from infants under one year old to adults in their 80s with various health conditions.
I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, as well as Ukeru de-escalation certified. I’m in my final semester of my Psychology degree and graduate December 19, 2026. My education and hands-on experience have strengthened my understanding of human behavior, child development, and emotional regulation.
As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I don’t believe in difficult children. I believe every child deserves someone willing to understand their needs, show patience, and help them thrive. My goal is to make every child feel safe, loved, and understood while giving parents peace of mind.

A little bit about me
I’m a professional nanny and postpartum doula with over 15 years of experience. While I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, I specialize in newborn care and postpartum support.
I’m comfortable signing an NDA and fully understand the importance of privacy and discretion. I’ve had the privilege of working with private and high-profile families throughout the U.S. and internationally.
As a mother of five and the oldest of 13 siblings, caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I specialize in establishing healthy sleep routines for newborns without using the “cry it out” method. My experience includes breastfeeding support, multiples, NICU care, infant CPR/First Aid, overnight care, and supporting new parents through those early months.
I’m warm, calm, dependable, and attentive to detail. My goal is to provide exceptional care while becoming a trusted and supportive part of the families I work with.

A little bit about me
I'm Michelle, 34. My husband and I recently moved to the area with our senior Beagle.
I have many years of childcare experience and have cared for children of all ages, including children with mild disabilities and developmental differences. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable adapting to each child’s individual needs and routines. I’m also happy to renew my First Aid/CPR certifications to ensure I’m fully prepared to provide safe and responsible care.
In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with household tasks such as dishes, laundry, preparing dinner and lunches, and other light housekeeping. I’m comfortable around animals of all kinds. We love fishing, exploring new places, and spending time outdoors. In my quieter moments, I enjoy reading and knitting, and one of my favorite things is taking our “old lady” Penny for walks in the evening.
I’m looking forward to meeting a wonderful family and becoming someone they can feel comfortable trusting with their children and home.
