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
I’m a former in-home daycare and drop-in center owner and a Registered Behavioral Technician with an M.A. in Clinical-Health Psychology. I’ve spent over 15 years working with children and families, and truly enjoy what I do.
I love playing, getting creative with arts and crafts, listening to music, and exploring the outdoors. I enjoy meeting children where they are, getting curious about what interests them, and creating opportunities for them to learn, explore, and have fun in ways that feel natural and developmentally appropriate.
For me, caring for children is about more than keeping them safe and entertained—it’s about building a relationship where they feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to be themselves.
