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 Madi, and I’m 19 year old. I’m currently a college student, and I’ve always loved working with kids. I’ve been a substitute teacher, which has given me a lot of experience managing classrooms and helping students of different ages. On top of that, I’ve done a lot of babysitting over the years, from toddlers to older kids, so I’m really comfortable handling different routines, homework help, and keeping things fun and safe. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, but I also know how important structure can be for kids. I’d love the chance to help out as a nanny and bring both my teaching and babysitting experience to your family!
