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! My name is Justine, and I have several years of experience caring for children. I started babysitting at 13, helping my grandma when she cared for children of single parents and families going through difficult times. That experience taught me not just how to watch kids, but how to be patient, attentive, and supportive in a meaningful way. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for them. I’m responsible, dependable, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and at ease. I would love the opportunity to help care for your child and be someone you can trust and rely on.

Hi! My name is Skylar, and I'm studying Theatre and Education through AWC.
I love working with kids, though I am a little green when it comes to working with the littlest ones (5 and under).
I've worked with kids and teens through Yuma Community Theater's STAGE Program, ages 8-18--and this summer I worked at an all-girls sleepaway camp in upstate NY as an In-Bunk and Specialty Counselor, wherein I was responsible for children ages 6-15.
