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 am a mother of two great adults and a grandmother to two sweet boys. Caring for and educating littles has always been a great passion for me. I was lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom. After my kids were grown, I started caring for amazing families in preschool and care centers. Education in the 0-3 age group is so vital for healthy brain and body development. Supporting this age group is amazing and fulfilling work. Collaboration with families and caregivers is a vital part of this work and I love being a part of it.

A little bit about me
Before working in childcare, I spent several years as a missionary, which taught me patience, adaptability, and how to care for people well. My faith is a big part of who I am and shapes the way I love and serve others.
I’m dependable, caring, and love building relationships with both children and parents. My biggest dream is to be a wife and mom someday, so getting to invest in children is something I truly enjoy. It would be an honor to care for your family and create a space where your children feel safe, loved, and can thrive.

A little bit about me
I have had the privilege of working with K-8 children for the past 10 years as an art educator. I am passionate about creating a positive and supportive learning space for children of all ages and abilities. I have changed my role so that I can bring that same type of support into an individual family's home. I have been told I have "the patience of a saint" which I take great pride in. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a fun environment through outdoor activities, hands-on learning, board games, or educational puzzles. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. Whether we are tackling a craft project or assisting around the house, I look forward to becoming a reliable partner in your children's lives.
