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.

Hi! My name is Emma, and I am a responsible and energetic individual who genuinely enjoys working with children. Growing up with a younger sister has given me a lot of hands-on experience in caring for kids, and I’ve also babysat occasionally for families in my community. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and engaging.

I love staying active and spending quality time with kids, whether that means playing games, helping with activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable and safe around. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and committed to creating a fun, positive environment for the children I care for.
