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! My name is Savannah. I have been working in childcare for about a year and am passionate about continuing to grow my career in early childhood education. While I enjoy working with children of all ages, I especially love caring for infants through 2-year-olds and supporting their growth and development during these important early years. I graduated last year and am CPR and First Aid certified. I also have a perfect driving record and reliable transportation. Beyond my professional experience, I am the oldest of 11 grandchildren and have two younger siblings, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have developed strong knowledge of children’s needs, routines, safety, and age-appropriate development. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family’s needs. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat and get to know me better! ☺️
