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

I’ve always loved being around kids! My mom was a big child lover and always took care of my little cousins and neighborhood kids, so I grew up helping her and developed the same passion. Now I live with my nieces and nephews, who feel like my own kids, and they’ve only made me love caring for children even more.

I’ve been babysitting part-time for about 6–7 years, helping families with date nights, late work shifts, and after-school care. I make sure kids are safe, comfortable, and having fun while their parents are away.

Right now, I work as an after-school program counselor with children from Pre-K to 5th grade, and I’m also studying to become a pediatrician because working with kids truly makes me happy. I naturally build strong bonds with the children I care for they show me so much love, and that’s the best part of what I do.
