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 am 16 years old. I have my own car and don't need transportation!
I have over 3 years of babysitting experience.
I love kids, they make my day so much better.
Caring for them will be my top priority.
I can complete light house work, cook for your child, and engage your child in fun activities.
I am homeschooled so there's more time being able to tend to your child.
I have 4 dogs of my own so some care for your pet as well will not be a problem at all.
i cant wait to meet your little one!!
