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

An active Mom and Grandma that loves to be outside, read and be creative with little ones. I have worked with a few families from birth until their children were school age and also have worked in an elementary school for many years. We relocated to Tennessee last year to help family with childcare. I am looking for a family to work part time with opposite my other child care commitments.

I am CPR and First Aid Certified and a licensed driver. I have loved moving south and enjoy all that this beautiful area offers. I have three adult children and they are a huge part of our lives as we love visiting our sons that are out of state or doing life with our daughter and her family locally.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Macey! I’ve been working in childcare since I was 16, and I’m about to turn 20. Both of my jobs have been child-related, and I’ve also had the opportunity to babysit for several families. Through this experience, I’ve realized how much I truly love working with children. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality, helping them learn, and being someone they feel comfortable and safe with.
