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.

I love children, in my country of origin I studied preschool education. I have already worked as a nanny for many years. It has been my job since I arrived in the United States. I had a family of 2 children for 4 years and I had to move from another city. That's why I'm looking for a family again to work for them and give all my time and dedication to their children while they work to be able to help them and their parents feel safe to work calmly knowing that their children are in good hands cared for by a good nanny ❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻
