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 currently a student at Gonzaga University, working toward a degree in History and English. I have a deep passion for working with children and am planning to pursue a career in either pediatric oncology nursing or as a licensed mental health counselor—fields where I can make a meaningful difference in young lives.
I bring a calm, compassionate, and creative presence to the families I work with. In my free time, I enjoy baking sweet treats, painting, and exploring the outdoors through hiking. These hobbies often inspire fun, engaging activities I love to share with kids!
Whether it's helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained with crafts, or simply offering a nurturing and dependable helping hand, I’m here to support your family however I can.
