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 Whitney, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. My background in education, early childhood learning, and working as both a teacher and librarian has given me experience with children of different ages, personalities, abilities, and learning styles. I have also had the privilege of working with children with special needs which has taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, understanding, and meeting each child where they are. I believe children learn best when they are given opportunities to explore, ask questions, be creative, and learn through hands-on experiences—not simply sitting in front of a screen. I love reading with children, doing crafts and activities, getting outside, playing games, and finding fun ways to turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys getting to know each child as an individual.

Recent reference

"Susan is a treasure! She cared for my 2-year-old and 6-month-old boys for several months and was absolutely wonderful. She clearly loves little ones and is incredibly patient with them. My baby is very much a Velcro baby who always wants to be held, yet she somehow managed to keep him happy while also keeping my toddler entertained. She was always proactive about tidying up and keeping the play area clean. She even helped my toddler learn to clean up after himself! She also made sure breakfast and lunch dishes were washed and everything was left in great shape. Susan truly went above and beyond. Her daughter is a sweetheart. She only got to come along one day, but she and my toddler had a great time together! We only got a new nanny due to moving, or we would have kept Susan! Any kids are lucky to have her around."
