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.

Soy nanny y guía Montessori, titulada en Educación Infantil, con más de 10 años de experiencia trabajando con niños de diferentes edades, desde bebés hasta etapa preescolar.

Mi enfoque se basa en el respeto, la autonomía y el desarrollo emocional del niño, siguiendo los principios Montessori y adaptándolos a cada familia. Me considero una persona responsable, cariñosa, paciente y muy comprometida, con una gran vocación por el cuidado y la educación infantil.
