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.

"I highly recommend Ari for any nanny position! She has such a beautiful spirit, a genuine heart, and a natural way of connecting with children. I have known her for the past three years, and throughout that time, I have had the opportunity to see her serve in our church’s children’s ministry. The way she interacts with the children is truly beautiful. She is patient, loving, attentive, and intentional in the way she cares for them. Seeing her consistently show up and serve the children has given me so much confidence in her character and her ability to care for little ones. I trust her with my own child because I have seen firsthand the love, kindness, and care she pours into the children around her. Any family would be blessed to have her as their nanny. I can confidently recommend her to a family looking for someone who will care for their children with genuine love, patience, and compassion."

A little bit about me

Hello my name is London, I'm a 26 year old who's wanting to get back into childcare. I've been living in Georgia for the past 6 years and I'm also currently in nursing school to become an L&D nurse. A little about me, I've been working with kids since I was about 12 years old, I've worked with all ages and from new born to 14 years of age. I help with cooking, cleaning, homework, after school activities and etc. My main goal is to make things easier for the parents and the way I do that is by reassuring you that your child is being cared for by someone who really has a true love and dedication for kids and being apart of that village that wants to see your children prosper and succeed and become the best version of themselves and for you to feel safe with trusting me and knowing that your child is being well taken care of! Other than that I'm a very easy going like girl ready to work and become apart of your support system!
