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 lived in Paulding County for over 30 years and in my home for over 20 years. I spent 11.5 years in the Ga Army Guard and went through ROTC at KSU. I've raised 2 very intelligent children and my son graduated with honors from North Ga University. My daughter still lives at home, attends KSU, majoring in early childhood education. She lost her hearing and spent a number of years in physical therapy, as a result of meningitis. So, I can understand the struggles of having a child with special needs. I enjoy kayaking and camping. I also love helping with school projects. My daughter was in Girl Scouts and I was the Troup Camper and attended classes on fire building, cooking, and safety. I also own 1 dog, and 2 love birds.
