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
Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a nanny throughout school. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in child development, establishing routines, preparing meals, and engaging in age-appropriate activities.
My nursing background has provided me with extensive knowledge of child health and safety, emergency response, and medication administration.
I am looking for a wonderful family who needs consistent, reliable childcare with regular hours. I would love the opportunity to bring my healthcare experience, childcare background, and nurturing personality into your home and become a trusted part of your family's daily life.
