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! My name is Julia, and I am a Registered Nurse with experience caring for both adults and children in the hospital setting. While I truly value my nursing career and the skills it has given me, I am currently looking to step away from the fast-paced hospital environment and return to something I've always loved—working closely with children and families.
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.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Adriana Rodriguez, and I am from Morrisville, North Carolina. I am currently a college student transferring to North Carolina State University as I begin my sophomore year. I previously attended East Carolina University for my freshman year.The main reason I decided to transfer closer to home is because family is very important to me, and I love being involved in the lives of my younger siblings. As the oldest of four siblings, I have naturally developed a very caring, patient, and responsible personality. Growing up in a big family has taught me how to be dependable. In addition to my love for working with children, I also enjoy staying active, working out, trying new restaurants and foods, and taking pictures in my free time. I am a very positive, energetic, and family-oriented person,
