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 am looking to provide high-quality childcare because I truly love supporting children's development and helping mothers create a smooth, happy environment at home. Currently, I volunteer and tutor children on a weekly basis, which has given me the patience and skills to engage kids of all ages effectively. When I enter your home, I bring a positive, ambitious, and highly organized mindset. Whether it's helping with homework or creative play, my goal is to leave your home a little brighter than I found it!
