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.

"We love Chloe! Chloe primarily watched my twin girls starting when they were 7 months old, she also helped with our 3 year old and 5 year old, as needed. She is reliable, responsible, patient, caring, trustworthy and is great with my kids. She has experience with nap schedules, feeding schedules, baby's first foods, comforting, caring for babies and much more! She is always engaged with the kids and likes to play with them. She gets excited about them learning new skills which is so sweet and she helps with development and milestones. She also was happy to help with household chores while the babies napped. We are moving out of state otherwise we would love to keep Chloe as our nanny! We will really miss her! I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about Chloe."

A little bit about me
I love being a sitter because I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping them have fun while staying safe. I’ve been babysitting for three different families since 2021, taking care of kids of different ages and helping with things like meals, homework, and bedtime. Babysitting has taught me to be patient, responsible, and creative when keeping kids entertained. I’m also studying to be a nurse in college, so I care a lot about helping others and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for!
