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

Hi, I’m Syd! Working with children is my one passion. I have taken every child development and education course school has to offer. I most recently worked at the ABC Great Beginnings as a preschool teacher, but am currently an Intervener for a child with special needs . I have been referred to as an excellent employee as well as one who is “exceptional with the kids”. I am looking to switch to nannying however. I promise you will not find anyone more willing or excited to care for your children than me :)
