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 owned and operated my own daycare business for 16 years, where I managed daily operations, scheduling,
communication with families, and the care of multiple children at once. This experience strengthened my ability to multitask, stay organized, problem-solve quickly, and remain dependable in every situation.
I worked as a nanny, which gave me valuable experience working closely with families and understanding the importance of trust, communication, discretion, and reliability inside the home. Since 2018, I have worked as a substitute teacher, which has continued to build my flexibility, patience, and ability to adapt easily to changing environments and needs. Whether it is keeping inventory organized, running errands, helping coordinate schedules, or managing household responsibilities, I take pride in being dependable, hardworking, and detail-oriented.
I would be honored to bring my experience, and caring personality to your home and family. When I'm not working I love to hike.
