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 have worked with children for over 15 years. I have a handful of children myself. Most are grown, but presenting never ends. Most of my experience comes from taking care nieces/nephews, neighbors kids, and my own. I cook, clean, lightly teach (depending on age), and run few errands. My experience speaks for itself but I'm open to a background check as well. I like for my kids to have fun and a learning experience they can remember when they spend their time with me. I am available throughout the weekdays as well as most weekends.
