| Live-in | Set by family | $24.78/hr | See live-in 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
Safety is my top priority when caring for children. I recently got recertified in CPR and AED and have a strong background in lifeguarding and water safety. I've completed several swim and save tests, so I'm confident in handling emergencies and ensuring a safe environment. I know how to balance fun and safety, allowing kids to enjoy outdoor activities while keeping them protected.
I would describe myself as patient, fun, loving, creative, energetic, and responsible!

I have also had previous experience as a live out nanny for 4 years. The kids ages were 2 and 4.
I have had plenty of opportunities to work as a teacher in daycares and preschools where I gained the ability to communicate clearly with parents and how to teach in a fun and exciting way.
I also have provided light housekeeping in all of my roles.
I love the outdoors, especially swimming. I was on the swim team and love to be active with kids. I come from a big family with lots of people to love, and am excited to be working with children.
I am a fun, loving and outgoing person. I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. I have good morals and standards and enjoy any social event. I would love a position that would push me to grow and learn new skills.
