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.

Outside of work I am a very active person, I love to ski and hike. When I’m home I love to paint, crotchet, bake, and spend time with my dog.
As a nanny I emphasize creativity and physical activity in children. I set up art activities, games, and engaging outdoor activities.
I have a BA from the University of Nevada Reno.

A little bit about me
My favorite part of working with kids is watching them reach new milestones and develop their own little personalities. I love knowing I get to play a small role in helping build the foundation of who they are.
I’m currently pursuing my AA in Early Childhood Education at Pierce College and hope to one day open a small school where children can learn through play and nature. Outside of work I enjoy camping, hiking, crafting, playing piano, and spending time with family and friends. I’m excited to transition into a nanny role where I can provide more individualized care and build meaningful relationships with families.
