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 am a dedicated childcare professional committed to children’s safety, well-being, and development.

I enjoy establishing structured routines and creating safe, nurturing, and stimulating environments. Through play and age-appropriate activities, I encourage children’s motor, cognitive, sensory, language, and socio-emotional development. I also support children in developing independence and self-care skills as they grow.

I am proactive, reliable, patient, and well-organized. I anticipate children’s needs and maintain clear, consistent communication with parents, working collaboratively

Hi, my name is Juliana. I have 4 years of experience as a babysitter, caring for children of all ages--from infants to school-aged kids.
