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 Chelsie — a caring, patient, and dependable nanny with professional experience in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a lead toddler teacher in a daycare setting and am currently completing my CDA, which has given me a strong foundation in child development and daily care routines.

I love creating a calm, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel safe to explore, learn, and be themselves. I’m very attentive, reliable, and gentle, and I believe consistency and kindness are key to helping children thrive. Whether it’s playtime, meals, naps, or learning through everyday moments, I’m always focused on what’s best for the child.

I’m passionate about childcare and would love to support your family in a way that feels comfortable and dependable.
