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 am a responsible 21 year old who has been an athlete my entirety of life. I am physically capable of moving couches, shelves, or anything heavy (for safety purposes). I am very easily infatuated by children (babies love staring at me and little toddlers always approach with bright smiles). I am great with animals! (I’ve had 6 dogs, 8 cats, baby chicks, turtles, fish, birds, gerbals, bunnies, etc). I used to tutor children ages 6-9 and babysat a newborn for 5-6 months. My mother was a teacher so I was constantly in school helping with her and the children, helping me understand how to help the children more. I’m a great people and parent person! I also have a food handlers license, serve safe certified, and took 4 years of culinary school. I can cook any meal that comes to mind and I can bake anything (including bread, cakes, pastry’s, muffins, etc). I am also very open to making meal prep for the house if needed! I’m very into fitness and can help with any questions about nutrition!
