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
I’ve always had a huge love for kids! I’ve had experience working with children in different schools, from preschool all the way up to middle school, as well as babysitting children from newborns to 12 years old. I’m very comfortable around children of different ages and personalities. My dream has always been to become a teacher, so being around children and watching them learn, grow, and have fun is something that makes me really happy. I love creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where kids can be themselves. Whether playing games, doing arts and crafts, helping with homework, going outside, or just keeping them company. A little about me outside of working with kids: I love being outdoors, going to the gym, and trying new foods because I’m a BIG foodie I’m a very caring, patient, and responsible person, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and make sure your little ones feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me.

A little bit about me
Hey y'all! I just moved here from Austin, TX. I am 24 years old. I have been working with children around the Austin area as a babysitter and nanny for 10 years. Most recently I worked for a family of three children ages 8, 6, and 3 for about a year and a half. I drove them around to their extracurriculars as well as took care of their normal routine afterwards: feeding them, bathing them, and getting ready for bed. I also did take care of light housekeeping such as, folding laundry, doing the dishes, meal prep, and light organizing wherever my client needed me to organize. I love to play and engage with the children. I always respect rules on screen time (I personally try to stay off them as much as I can when I'm with the kiddos), and always ask appropriate question so I can provide the best help that is needed. I am so looking forward to what this next chapter brings me and I hope it is with you!

A little bit about me
my name is Starlite, and I’m a 33-year-old mother of a wonderful four-year-old. Being a parent has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment for children. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and grow, while making sure they feel cared for and supported. I’m dependable, attentive, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your children. I take pride in being nurturing, reliable, and treating every child with the same care and the respect I’d want for my own. I’m excited for the opportunity to support a family and make a positive difference in their children’s daily lives.
