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 love spending time with kids coming up with activities to do whether art, music making, dancing, baking, playing games or make believe. I like spending time with the kids as if I'm one of them, down on the floor, engaged in activities and asking them about what they want to do. I am also a big fan of playing outside and getting dirty in nature whether on walks or in the garden. I have years of 10+ years of experience babysitting and around 5 years of experience in a daycare center. I believe a safe and fun environment for children to explore and play in is crucial for their development and I understand the importance of having routines and schedules for kiddos to have smoother transitions throughout the day. I have a Bachelors of a Science in Family Studies and Human Services which provides me with background knowledge in child development and growth. I am eager to play with your kid/s and help out around the house as needed.
