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 am Destiny! I just recently started in childcare this year, but being around kids has always been a part of my life. As the oldest of 7, I've been helping with babies and littles ones for as long as I can remember! I chose childcare because I truly love watching kids grow, learn, and just being their fun silly selves. In my free time I love hanging out with family and spending time with my boyfriend. My heart is happiest when I am surrounded by love, laughter, and tiny hugs!
