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’m currently looking for a summer nanny position from May 18th through August 21st before I return to school in the fall.
I love working with kids and enjoy activities like playing outside, baking, reading, crafts, and helping with summer learning. I also care for pets and am happy to help wherever needed. I have experience working at Kumon, in a daycare with all age groups (including children with special needs), plus over 3 years of babysitting and pet-sitting experience.
I’m reliable, patient, CPR/First Aid certified, and passionate about creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children.
If you’re looking for a caring and responsible summer nanny (and pet sitter too!), I’d love to connect! 💛
