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

Hi! I’m Isabella Nelson, and I am a family Science major at Utah Valley University in my final year of school. I am a fun, caring and dependable person who genuinely loves working with children and helping them learn and grow.
I have five years of nanny experience caring for three children while their mother worked. During that time, I also provided support to their mother throughout her pregnancy. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a preschool/daycare, where I gained experience working with young children in a structured environment.
My education in Family Science has also given me a strong understanding of child development, family relationships and positive parenting practices. I enjoy creating a safe, fun and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported and cared for. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rowyn, I’m 18 years old, and I recently moved to Utah from Louisiana. I’ve grown up around children my entire life because my mom has had an in-home daycare for as long as I can remember. Because of this, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for children ages 4 and under.
I’ve also babysat independently for multiple families back home in Louisiana, which has given me experience caring for children in a variety of settings. I’m comfortable with playtime, meals, nap time, routines, and keeping little ones safe and entertained.
I’m CPR certified, responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I would love the opportunity to help your family and provide your little ones with safe, caring, and dependable childcare!

A little bit about me

I graduated nursing school on May of 2023 and I used to work in a family clinic as a supervisor up until the begging of the year and are now babysitting for an almost 1 year old baby. Before then, I was living in Texas and working at a family clinic as well. I was working there part time and babysitting for two different families the other half of my time.

I am BLS/CPR certified and vaccinated. I also have over 130 hours of clinical/hospital experience working with newborns and moms, since I was assigned to the mother and baby unit during my school rotations.

I have over 6 years of experience babysitting children of ages 1month and older, including multiples/twins.

I have worked with families with up to three children at a time. I would pick them up from school, prepare food, as well as helping with homework and light house cleaning. I also have experience cleaning houses, and have been doing that since I was 15.

I speak both English and Spanish, and have a minor in Spanish.

I am a huge fan of baking, I just perfected my sourdough bread and am looking for my next recipe to conquer.
