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 love childcare work!! I have been babysitting since I was 10, for neighbors or family friends. And the past month I’ve been working in a daycare, unfortunately they can only pay me 11 an hour and I need more to afford rent. I have always had a natural gift with kids, I love bonding with every child and getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I love how their mind works with curiosity and I love being around them it overall boosts my mood. I hope you’ll consider me!! :)
