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 there! My name is Demi’ and I’m a dancing, self-proclaimed chef that uses empathy, open communication, and humor to create a fun environment for the children I am fortunate enough to work with. I have my BS in Human Development and Family Studies (Penn State) and my MSW in Children and Families (USC). I have also gained much experience in behavioral management and special needs populations during my time as a Registered Behavioral Therapist in school, clinic, and in-home settings. I have been a camp counselor for ages 13-17, after school supervising counselor for elementary aged students, as well as worked in my fair share of daycare centers/preschools. Despite not having any children of my own, I understand and appreciate the importance of fostering a healthy environment for children especially when given the trust of their parents and take pride in doing my part in being a component of the village it takes to help a child grow!
