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 love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and grow. I’m responsible, reliable, and experienced with managing routines, engaging children in age-appropriate activities, and supporting their development. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation if needed. I’m very flexible with availability through the summer. Starting in September, I will have class on Mondays and am still finalizing my practicum schedule, but I’m committed to finding a consistent, long-term fit with a family. Feel free to message me to see if I would be a good fit!
