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 was raised around kids mainly my cousins, when I was 10 I started babysitting for family friends and when I was 15 my nephew was born. I was the only one available to help when he was born so I took care of him until he was 3. I started working with the special needs community at 18 working as an RBT, helping kids with autism, ADHD, and down syndrome. As an RBT I worked with ages 2-21 in my clinic. I am naturally a very cleanly person, I like to clean as I go. I'm not easily grossed out by bad diapers and drool seeing as I worked with teens/adults that needed help learning a bathroom routine. I would love to be considered to be part of your Childs memories.
