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
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.
Creo firmemente en crear un entorno seguro, estable y afectuoso, donde los niños se sientan comprendidos y acompañados en su crecimiento. Para mí, la comunicación con los padres es fundamental, por lo que mantengo siempre una relación cercana, transparente y de confianza.
Si buscan a alguien que cuide de sus hijos con el mismo respeto y dedicación que ustedes, estaré encantada de que se pongan en contacto conmigo para conocernos mejor.
