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.

Hey y’all! My name is Zoe Harwell and I’m thrilled to be a part of this amazing community! As the older sister to three siblings and an aunt to two little boys, caring for children has always been a huge blessing in my life. (I have a distinct memory of being 12 years old and holding my baby sister in the rocker for hours on end- I refused to give her up!) I’m compassionate and caring as well as reliable and honest. I believed you should always treat people the way you want to be treated- with respect and dignity. I am passionate about becoming a nanny and dedicating my time to your little one! Can’t wait to meet y’all and thanks for reading! :)

A little bit about me

My name is Courtni! I spent all of my young adult years nannying part-time for many different families of all ages. Now I am a mother of two with extra space to care for kids in need. Ideally, parents would be able to drop child(ren) off at my house as I am a stay-at-home mom to a 2.5 year-old and a 1 year-old. We are up-to-date on vaccines and have a very neat and orderly house. I can feed kids whatever healthy meals/snacks I feed my own kids. I am very organized, punctual, and try to make things fun!
