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 Giselle! I’m 19 years old, and childcare has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting around age 9, and all through 7th–12th grade I volunteered at latchkey after-school programs. I’ve always loved being around kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun.

My schedule is quite flexible — whether you need a reliable sitter for date night, a self-care day, or more consistent help, I’m happy to be there. I’m comfortable with a variety of ages and can also assist with light household tasks, meals, or homework help if needed.

A little about me: I currently live in Oakland county, right on the Bloomfield border near Telegraph. I was born in Grand Blanc, Michigan, raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, and moved back to Michigan a few years ago. I’m very patient and nurturing. I enjoy creative activities like arts & crafts, reading, and poetry.

I look forward to connecting and hopefully being a great fit for your family!
