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.

Recent reference

"Hayley was an amazing nanny for my two girls, who were 2 and 5 by the end of her time with us! She was caring, patient, creative, yet also very good at holding boundaries with them. She took them on excursions, to the park, did crafts with them, made food, bathed them, etc. Beyond being amazing with the kids, she was incredibly helpful with keeping our home and lives in order. She grocery shopped, did laundry, and was very good at anticipating things. She was an excellent problem solver, and took initiative without being asked. I trusted her completely and my kids loved her and still talk about her to this day! Could not recommend her more highly."
