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 have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 25 years, in a variety of roles. I have had extensive training and education. I have my B.S. in Child Psychology, and I am first aid, fire safety and cpr certified. I also have worked as an RBT for a year.
I am looking to leave the classroom and work in a more intimate and familial environment.
I am patient, nurturing and gentle, but firm as well. I enjoy organizing and attending to detail. I move well with predictability but also respect flexibility. I have an understanding of child development which supports me as I care for and teach young children.
I definitely look forward to working with a family that knows they can benefit from my experience and skill.
Thank you so much!

My most recent role was working as a professional family doula, where I provided overnight infant care and postpartum support for families. My experience includes feeding routines, soothing techniques, diaper changes, sleep support, breastmilk preparation and storage, bottle prep, skin-to-skin support, and lactation education. I also previously worked as a Program Assistant, where I helped students with homework, academics, enrichment activities, and STEM learning. In addition, I assist families with meal prepping, children’s laundry, transportation, and maintaining smooth daily routines.
Families would describe me as patient, dependable, nurturing, and trustworthy.

A little bit about me
I've always loved working with children! I started by babysitting for friends and family before working my way up to a management position at an amusement park, where I interacted with children and families every day. After the company closed, I realized how much I missed caring for kids and decided to return to childcare.
I have experience mentoring elementary-aged students, working with children with special needs through school activities, and I'm happy to help with homework, learning activities, and tutoring. I'm a bubbly, patient, dependable person who loves creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I can't wait to meet your family!
