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

Hello! My name is Alissa Mitchell and I am a 24 year old native Texan. I moved to Pueblo earlier this month and I consider myself blessed to be a part of this community. Although I don’t have any children of my own, I dream of being a mother one day and adore every child as the blessing that they are!
I have two pets of my own, a cat named Pine and a dog named Bear. In the past I have had the opportunity to foster bottle kittens, and I am excited to be able to engage in that again in the future.
I love plants and the clean energy that they bring! In my free time I often find myself doing creative projects, like embroidery and painting. I am very excited to get into the art of candle making.
Thank you for reading a little about me and considering me in caring for your most precious possession(s)!

A little bit about me

Being a nanny is a daily immersion into a world of pure, unfiltered joy and chaos. Each day is a new adventure, filled with tiny hands reaching for yours, endless questions, and the satisfaction of watching a child's eyes light up as they grasp a new concept. It's a job that demands patience, energy, and a whole lot of love, but in return, it fills your heart with an immeasurable sense of purpose. You become a part of their formative years, shaping their minds and nurturing their spirits, and in doing so, they leave an indelible mark on yours.

A little bit about me

I am 22 years old. I have a 3yr old daughter, and a 1 year old Son. We stay home most of the time but when we have free time I love to play soccer, go to parks, anything outdoors and enjoy time with my nieces. I have 4 siblings, 1 brother 3 sisters. I am Blessed with 16 nieces and nephews that I adore. Being a mom and auntie is the greatest thing, and definitely opened my heart up for the love of kids even more. The joy and happiness kids/ babies bring me, makes me feel on top of the world. I love seeing their smiles, hearing their laughs, and them just being happy. But even on their bad days I love when they’re mad, crying, etc, cause it always ends with them smiling, laughing. And if not it’s okay, there’s always tomorrow and we’ll try again. I feel like I connect with kids so good is that I’m still a little kid at heart. But I am hard working, dedicated, and caring, about getting work/stuff done. More than happy to help with homework, meals/snacks, etc.
