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 started in pediatric dentistry at 19. Start out of college, I added my love of teaching others and stayed in Dental Assistant education for 7 years. I transitioned to the business side in 2008 and continued excelling my knowledge and career. I have handled every aspect of small business management as well as Human Relations and all dental specific billing/software/patient care/marketing responsibilities. Earlier this year I started my own Dental Management and Billing Consultant Company, allowing me to work remote and choose my hours.
My children are grown. I am still young. I know who am I and what I want most out of life.
A child’s formative years are so fleeting and I truly believe, are the most fun of all the ages. As a part time nanny I can combine my love of children while maintaining my Consulting Company.
The best of both!

A little bit about me
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, water sports, dancing, and planning memorable parties and gatherings for my loved ones. I love bringing people together and creating fun, meaningful experiences.
Professionally, I currently work as a recruiter, where I've developed strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills. While I enjoy helping people find employment, I'm looking to transition into a career where I can make a more direct impact. My passion is working hands-on with children, and I'm excited to pursue opportunities that allow me to support their growth, development, and well-being while making a positive difference in their lives.
