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.

Hi! My name is Alejandra Freyre. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice at FIU. I also have my bachelors degree in Crime Science from FIU.

A little bit about me

I have several years of experience working with children of various ages. I’ve served as a babysitter for my family members and a summer camp counselor, which has taught me how to engage children with creative activities, manage challenging behaviors, and ensure their safety at all times. I have a 10 year old brother and 4 year old cousin I take care of very often. My qualifications include strong organizational skills, patience, and an ability to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. Beyond that, I love planning educational and fun activities that foster children’s growth and curiosity. ’m naturally empathetic, reliable, and energetic, which helps me connect with children and make them feel comfortable. Additionally, I have experience with light household duties such as meal preparation, tidying up, and pet care. My goal as a caregiver is to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where children can thrive.
