Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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 my names Alexa. I been a nanny since 2013 for several single moms who’ve lived a more entrepreneurial lifestyle along with presently being a nanny for a high profile client when needed. I love helping where help is needed. Keeping your home in house-hold order, keeping your child or children on a schedule, and just being able to allow you as a parent to breathe knowing your child is in great hands. And without overstepping via boundaries if I do see areas that a child may be out of line on if allowed I do step in to gently course correct while focusing on a game plan with mom or dad or both to tackle an issue that doesn’t need to evolve into extensive habits that a parent may not have time for. I just like to make things easier for the parents with everything they already have to deal with on a day to day. Life is rough sometimes and I just enjoy being able to help take that load off a parent’s shoulders.

A little bit about me
I am I mother of two boys, one is 18 and the other is 7. I have experience with babysitting children from ages 4 months to 9 years old. My experience started when I was a teenager and continued on throughout the years. I also had to help my sister take care of my 4 nieces and nephews when my brother passed away some years ago. I am organized and like a clean space, so I do clean. I cook and most of my meals are baked I don't like to fry food much. I do have an air fryer at home I do use sometimes as well. I try to feed my children healthy foods as much as possible. I honestly have not had luck in finding a job lately so that is why I am here. I didn't think to sign up for a nanny, or babysitting service until it came across my computer screen. Since I do have experience here I am. I am willing to obtain a CPR certification if needed.
