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

Just recently switched careers due to being laid off from my local gov. job. I've always enjoyed helping which is why I had been working human services prior. I started doing side work helping clients' with tasks they were too busy for, needed an extra hand with or were limited in mobility. I found the most joy in helping families enjoy more time together by taking tasks off their to-do lists. I decided why not go full-time and offer childcare as well as I love kiddos and have decades of familial experience.
