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

Hi! I’m Emma! I’ve been officially babysitting for about 6 years (so since I was roughly 15), but unofficially I’ve been babysitting since I was 12! I grew up with three younger sisters and lots of cousins, so I’ve been getting experience for a long time! I don’t have a piece of paper that says I’m CPR certified, but I’ve been working in healthcare for the last 4 years, and child development for many more years before that, so I know how to do all those kinds of things. Currently I’m working as a certified pharmacy technician, but I miss the work I used to do with children specifically. I babysit now just for fun! Before I worked in healthcare, I worked in a before and after school program with kids grade Pre-K through 8th. I mostly worked with Preschoolers at that time. I also did extensive work in classrooms during high school with various age groups.

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Malerie and I am currently a junior at Georgia Southern University studying criminal justice/criminology. In the past few years, I have cared for children from a wide range of ages such as infants to preteens. A few of the activities I love to engage in with children are story time, singing songs, building blocks, and playing games with the little ones. During school breaks, I work for Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency in the Cobb County area and I have been with the company for almost 3 years. I also provide mommy's helper services such as laundry, dishes, light housekeeping, etc! I have my own transportation. I am also a huge animal lover and have a pet of my own so family pets aren't an issue for me. I am currently doing an internship this semester so my schedule is limited as far as weekdays but I am available in the evenings M-F and on the weekends! I hope we can find a schedule that works for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon:)
