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've worked at a montessori daycare for 16 months, nannied for 2 and a half years and afterwards went back to a daycare for awhile ! After working at my first daycare I then started nannying for a family at the daycare and worked for them for 2 years, during that time I started off watching a 6YO, 5YO and a 13 month old. While working for the family they had another baby and I also watched him till he was 10 months. I love working with younger kids as I'm super energetic and love running around with them!
