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 Cienna, I am 25 years old and currently in my junior year of college. I am fully remote so it will not impede by work. I have previously nannied when I was 16- 21. I made the switch into hospitality shortly after. I have worked closely with ages 6 months-13 years old. During covid I helped co-teach a learning pod for those who needed extra hands on assistance with learning online. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.
I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with daily routines such as preparing meals, organizing activities, helping with homework, keeping children’s spaces tidy, and maintaining a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I always strive to provide reliable and thoughtful care.
