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
Hello!
I recently graduated from Coastal Carolina University with my Masters in Coastal Marine & Wetland Studies and am seeking a full-time nanny//au pair position while I navigate this difficult job market. My husband and I would like to stick around the Grand Strand area for another year or two as he’s just established a local landscaping business.
I’ve worked with children in all capacities for 10+ years now, and have all of my certifications up to date (CPR, First Aid). I am also a lifeguard//swim instructor, so I maintain water safety certifications as well.
I’m looking for a fun, outgoing family that I can make memories with and I’m willing to assist in any traveling as I’ve done so in the past. I like to keep an open mind and am comfortable with navigating busy schedules.
