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 looking for work as a live-in nanny. I have over a decade of experience with kids, including 5 years of experience as a behavior therapist for autistic children.
Some things I love: music (folk, indie, pop, lots of Taylor Swift), writing, learning all about feelings and psychology, yoga (I've taught special need's yoga to children!), and sour gummy candies.
I'm new to the area -- just moved from NJ. I spent the first half of my 20's working as a behavior therapist with autistic children. I loved the kids I got to work with (mostly preschoolers), but became disillusioned about the flaws of the system I was working within, and left to do odd jobs of baristaing and dogwalking.
I'm currently staying with family in Lancaster and would love a live-in nanny position while I save up money for grad school and creative pursuits.
