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 am new to the area. I am looking for part time work (2-3 days a week) as a babysitter/nanny. I am 54 years old with years of experience from babysitting when I was growing up to being a full time nanny during college and a few years after as well as raising my own kid. I also homeschooled for 12 years with my daughter. I worked our own trucking business as well as my own bookkeeping business during all of those years as well. I love kids and animals. I have years of experiences with animals. We raised/trained guide dogs and service dogs, worked with rescue programs, and I even come from a family farm and had horses growing up. My husband works locally long hours so I would like to find part time work to fill some of my time as well as share my love and kind nature with children.
