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.

A little bit about me
I am currently a junior at Alabama A\&M University, pursuing a degree in Special Education with a concentration in grades K-6. My academic journey reflects my strong passion for working with children, particularly those with unique learning and developmental needs. I hold a current CPR certification, which enhances my ability to provide a safe and responsive environment for young learners. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience by working in three different daycare centers, where I served as both a Floater Teacher and a Lead Teacher for two-year-olds. These roles allowed me to support children across various age groups and developmental stages. I pride myself on being caring, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. My approach is rooted in empathy and mindfulness, ensuring that every child feels supported, understood, and encouraged. I am deeply committed to fostering nurturing and inclusive learning environments that promote growth and confidence.
