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! I’m Sarai, I am 20 years old and have 3 siblings, 2 of which are younger, as well as 2 nieces. I mention this because I believe growing up with younger siblings shows you early on responsibility and the art of caring for another other than yourself. While having family experience is good, I also have childcare experience in a work environment such as daycares and summer camps. I’ve been privileged enough to work with all ages so I am able to communicate with different age groups. I also believe in making the parents life a little bit easier when it comes to nannying so I also love to take on household chores! I’m so excited to meet you!
