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.

Hi, my name is Lily! I'm 20 years old and am going into my junior year at SMU in Dallas. I’ve been babysitting for over four years and absolutely love working with kids! Last summer, I was a part-time nanny for a fun and energetic 6-year-old, and during the school year, I cared for a 2-year-old and an 8-year-old after school. I'm happy to help with light housework and small meals, and I love being creative — storytelling, playing games, and coming up with fun activities. I'm looking for a nannying job in the area this summer and would love to connect!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Michelle, I am 23 years old and just got married last July to my sweet husband who was also my high school sweetheart. We live in Lakeside in Flower Mound and have 1 golden retriever and 2 playful kitties. In my free time I love to take my dog on walks, travel, go shopping, try out to new recipes to cook, and chill by the pool.

I love to nanny and be around kids. I have been babysitting/ been around kids since I was 13, it all started out when I started working in my old church's kids ministry on Sunday mornings and now I do it in my spare time. I started to really babysit when I turned 16 and now I am 23 and nanny for a very sweet family with 4 kids in my spare time. Now, I am looking for a permanent gig for the summer.
