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
Hello, my name is Nyima. I am a 20 year old living on her own and looking to help a family out. I’ve been babysitting/ nannying since I was 15. I have a big family so I’m used to caring for young kiddos with all different types of needs. I have cared for kids with autism before. I am patient with children, I let them speak and I encourage them to let their emotions out properly while also helping them to respect others. I love cleaning, and am learning to make healthy food preps to help kids feel energized for the next day.
Would love to help you and your family. Can’t wait to get to know you!
