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
Kids tend to feel comfortable with me right away - I'm playful and goofy when they want to laugh, calm and steady when they need comfort, and patient through all the little moments that come with growing up. I'm great with routines, transitions, and helping children feel confident and understood.
I love creating a cozy, fun environment filled with things I enjoy doing with kids: animated story time, music and dancing, sensory play, crafts, outdoor adventures, and simple early-learning activities that make them feel proud of themselves. I'm reliable, flexible, responsible and respectful of each family's home and parenting style.
My goal is to make each day feel safe, joyful, and full of growth for your child - and to give you the peace of mind that they're with someone who truly cares and shows up with her whole heart.
