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 Areli Buena , and I have one year of experience working with children from the age of 2-3 years old in a private daycare in the upstate. During that time, I helped create a fun, safe and nurturing environment while supporting children with daily routines, playtime, learning activities, meals, and maintaining a positive atmosphere.
Although this would be my first nanny position, I am excited to provide one-on-one care and build a strong relationship with a family. I am patient, dependable, caring, and understand the importance of keeping children safe, engaged, and happy. I take pride in being reliable and communicating openly with parents so they can feel confident their children are in good hands.
I look forward to bringing my childcare experience and enthusiasm to a family and helping their children learn, grow, and thrive.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kiyah, and I have a deep love for working with children and helping them thrive. I’m certified in phlebotomy and CPR, and I’m currently on the path to becoming a pediatrician. Caring for kids has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve built years of hands-on experience to support that dream.

I worked at a children’s hospital, where I spent time with young patients offering comfort, playing games, and assisting with care to make their stay a little brighter. I’ve also been a camp counselor for three years, leading fun activities, supervising groups of children, and ensuring a safe, joyful environment for all.

I’m responsible, nurturing, and always bring positive energy to every interaction. Whether it’s helping with routines, organizing engaging activities, or just being a supportive presence, I’m here to provide the dependable care your family can count on.
