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
My name is Renee Dewberry, and I’m an energetic and responsible young adult looking for a summer babysitting position. I’m originally from Florida and graduated from Florida State University (Go Noles!).
I moved to Georgia last year and currently work as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant at an elementary school. I absolutely love working with children of all ages and abilities, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’d be happy to incorporate speech support if needed, and I’m also willing to help out around the house. Whether it’s a trip to the park, arts and crafts, or other creative activities, I’m excited to keep your kids active and entertained this summer!
Looking forward to connecting with you!
