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 have worked with children all my life, I love animals, and have been a military caregiver for the elderly for the past 5 years. I believe in child development, knowing that anything and everything can be a learning opportunity. I can teach the alphabet, numbers, colors, cooking, plants, and learning about the world around them. I love taking them to parks, the aquarium and zoo. Helping the children learn anything at all times. I also have compassion, patience and love to do things by a routine. I love to paint, listen to country music, and have rescued animals all my life. I definitely believe the world is our oyster so always have an open mind and never give up. I've also worked with children from all ages, and special needs along with foster children as well. So I'm always open to learning about your child and how you like things to be. Also I do not smoke and an open to drug tests, and background checks .

A little bit about me

I would be an amazing nanny because I already have hands-on experience caring for children I genuinely love. I’ve regularly watched my best friends’ kids and have helped care for my cousin since she was young (she’s 8 now) so I’m comfortable with everything from playtime to responsibility and routine. On top of that, my healthcare background has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm in any situation, which are all essential when caring for children. I’m reliable, nurturing, and naturally protective, making me someone parents can trust and kids can feel safe and happy around.
