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
Now, some details about me, I started working with kids when I was 16. I took care of my cousins, then I was a volunteer in my church as a teacher. Also I worked almost 3 years as an au pair taking care of 2 beautiful girls ( 2yo and 3yo)
I'm very responsible, flexible and active person. I like to take the kids out to the playground, library and parks to explore the nature, also I like to do inside activities like art and crafts.
Hope to hear from you soon!
