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 have taken care of children my whole life as an older child in a large family. I made it my job a few years ago working with kids on the spectrum with needs ranging from frequent reminders and follow ups to environmental and behavioral support for the highest need students. My favorite part of working with kids is growing their skills and independence by involving them in daily tasks and designing games around physical/emotional skill goals.

I am a very communicative person who is also tidy and organized without limiting childish fun. I am very flexible to what a parents wants for their child and am happy to work through what that looks like for each person.
