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 active and enjoy keeping children engaged through a variety of activities such as arts and crafts, building blocks, reading, outdoor playing, and helping with schoolwork. I aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children feel entertained and cared for. I have received CPR training through coursework and am familiar with basic CPR procedures. Growing up in a family of six children has also given me experience interacting with kids of different ages and personalities helping me develop patience, communication skills, and responsibility. I am organized and happy to help with light cleanup related to childcare, such as tidying play areas, washing dishes used during babysitting, and cleaning up after activities. Thank you for considering me.
