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.

"We highly recommend Natalia as a nanny. Natalia currently watches our son Mondays and Tuesdays. Natalia is a very reliable nanny and is extremely attentive and sweet with
our son. She is always playing with him, singing to him, taking him on walks when it isn't too cold. It gives us great peace knowing he is being taken care of so well. My son is always happy when she arrives. Natalia helps with tasks around the house like cleaning his play area and high chair, she washes his bottles and maintains the bottle making machine, washes his clothe and does light meal prep. We hope Natalia can stay with us part time until our son is old enough to go to school."

A little bit about me
Hi ! ,I’m 24 years old, I come from a big, close-knit family, which has made caring for kids feel natural for me. For the past six years, I was the regular babysitter for my nephew since he was around five months old, until his mom recently stopped working. I love spending time cooking, watching movies, and dancing around to music, and I also don’t mind helping out with cleaning around the house. I have a driver’s license, my own car, and I’m available and flexible. I’d love the opportunity to bring my positive energy and experience to your family!
