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.

Hi! My name is Jenna, and I'm 18 years old. I'm responsible, caring, dependable, and love working with children. Growing up, I helped raise my younger brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for kids of different ages. I also have experience house sitting, which has made me reliable and trustworthy. I'm getting ready to begin an online course in the medical field because I enjoy caring for others. I love cooking and would be happy to prepare simple, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I also enjoy cleaning and don't mind helping with light housekeeping to keep your home tidy. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and feel cared for.
