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 never thought about a field of career I’d be more passionate in than working with children. I have the most passion to helping them develop fundamentally. Although I may seem young I have the energy to keep up with all ages of kids. I personally enjoy sitting outside, listening to music, fishing, watching movies and hanging out with my friends. I am very high in excitement always.

A little bit about me

I am a 47-year-old Venezuelan and have been living in the U.S. for 8 years. I am married and a proud mom of two, which has given me plenty of experience caring for and guiding children. I hold a degree in Administration, have training in secretarial work and cosmetology, and hold a childcare certificate. I consider myself honest, proactive, energetic, and fun. I value respect, patience, and setting a good example as the foundation for raising children. I enjoy practicing yoga, dancing, and spending time with my two dogs. I have worked as a waitress, in an Amazon warehouse, and as a driver for Uber and DoorDash, which taught me responsibility and organization. I love supporting children’s growth and providing them with a safe, respectful, and joyful environment
