Tips to find a great part-time nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a freshman at Auburn University. I am currently a law and justice major, but am considering careers in pediatric therapy or elementary education as well! I'm the oldest of four children, so I've grown up around kids my whole life. I come from a big family with lots of younger cousins, so I've spent many family events as the designated babysitter! I've spent every summer since sixth grade volunteering at local summer camps working with preschool aged children all the way up to freshmen in high school. Throughout high school, I babysat for multiple families both during the day and night. I have experience caring for both boys and girls, varying from ages 1-10. I would love to connect with and serve a family local to the Auburn area!
