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 am Jocelyn Àbellana 47 years old,a mother. Currently working in Community as primary health care provider here in Philippines.First aid licensed before but expired 10 years ago..I have driver's license but for motorcycle only. Planned to have an early retirement here in Philippines where I served 21 years and Choose to shift my work as Nanny because taking care of children is more fun than taking care of elderly. Currency abroad is higher when spend here in Philippines, My second child will be entering college, with medical technology course,my fear is I might not sustain all her needs because medical courses here are expensive, reason for finding a greener pasture abroad. Possessing a patient, loving, gentle and God fearing values fits me to become a Nanny.If given a chance I will do all my best not to disappoint my employer.
