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

Hi! I’m a caring and dependable sitter with hands-on experience in both professional and personal childcare. I completed an occupational therapy internship in a pediatric setting, where I worked closely with children on developmental skills, routines, and play-based learning. That experience helped me understand how to support kids at different ages and stages in a patient and engaging way.

I’m also a parent myself, so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your child. I’m comfortable with newborns and young children, including feeding, diapering, soothing, and creating a safe, nurturing environment.

I love helping kids learn, play, and feel secure. Whether it’s keeping a consistent routine, engaging in fun activities, or just making sure your child is well cared for.
