Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

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 am currently volunteering in Cuenca, Ecuador. I rotate through five orphanages serving children ages 0-16, as well as a special needs facility for adult residents. I love creating engaging activities that get kids outside and moving, while also encouraging creativity, imagination, and social-emotional growth.
Previously, I worked as a live-in nanny in Spanish Fork, Utah for a five- and 2-year-old, in addition to several years of babysitting experience with children ages 1-8 in Homer, Alaska. I am currently pursuing a degree in Social Work and have completed coursework in psychology and child development. I also have housekeeping experience and am continuing to learn Spanish.
I am patient, reliable, and passionate about creating a nurturing, active, and joyful environment where children feel safe and supported

My two boys are 10 months, and 3 years old. We love doing play groups with friends, finding bugs outside, or just staying inside on a rainy day.
I want to give you ease of mind knowing I will care for your kids like my own! Being at home with my boys most days, I am very comfortable juggling multiple kids, nap times, meals, schedules...etc.
I currently work a part time job, and am hoping to find the perfect family to help part time as well.
