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’m 18 years old and I absolutely adore kids!! I’m an older cousin so I’ve always look after my younger cousins and they all adore me :) I like to keep kids away from the screen as much as I can, I believe children are in their prime age for learning new things and getting brain stimulation. I like to encourage discipline and cleanliness, and take care of a kid’s behavior the way I’d wanted to be taken care of. I want to be a pediatrician after med school so I’m definitely excited to work with kids in the long run!

A little bit about me

Hello! I am super excited to get into nannying for families! Although I do not have any professional childcare experience I have 3 younger sisters that I have had to babysit/ nanny through out my life! I run a reselling business of my own where I love to be creative, make fun videos, connect with my audience & create content! I am available for weeknight/day or weekend babysitting/nannying! I am CPR certified through a class I took in college. I am energetic, patient, and looking to build a fun connection with your kiddos so they see me as a friend versus someone that is just there to watch them! I love to do proactive things with the kids to keep them happy and busy! I’m great at making little games for the kiddos to want to help around the house if this is something you’re wanting them to learn to do:) I am ready to create a fun environment for your kids while gaining valuable experience in this field! Let me know if you have any questions:)
