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 Aftyn! I am a college senior at Northern Arizona University studying Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’m originally from Denver, Colorado, and I have extensive experience working with children. Growing up, I was the neighborhood babysitter, and for the past three summers I’ve worked at a summer camp for kids and teens with disabilities when I return home to Denver.
In my opinion, working with children and teens with disabilities gives me a unique advantage as a caregiver. I am able to adapt quickly, stay calm under pressure, and handle the fun, unpredictable energy that comes with kids. I’m also strong at reading body language and other nonverbal cues, which helps me better understand and support each child’s needs. I strive to be a positive influence while encouraging creativity and curiosity.
I am available to start right away, can work through the summer, and hope to continue with a flexible schedule in the fall as I complete my final semester.
