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

For the majority of the last two decades, I have been a stay at home parent of two amazing kids. Since the pandemic, we have homeschooled, and they are just about to start their last year of school. Proactive from the start of parenthood, I have gained certifications and experience in nutrition, certified personal training, virtual coaching, CPR, first aid, neurodivergent learning styles, and medical case management. Teaching is my passion and it is the caregiver's role to not only protect and care but educate. Currently, I also work reduced time for Amazon and have been employed as an associate for nearly three years. If you need care in the evenings or are willing to drop in Tuesday-Thursday while I teach my kids, I'd be happy to help!
