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’m a 17 year old girl who has recently moved to the area and I’ve always loved working with kids! I have younger cousins who I lived with and babysat quite often and have also cared for little ones in the past at Church and for family friends. I also have some experience with overnight babysitting as well as newborns. I currently help coach 5-11 year olds in jiujitsu but my schedule is super flexible. I’m looking for a part-time job that can progress into full time in the future. I’m willing to do light cleaning, food prepping, and even taking the kids wherever they need per parent’s request.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Janna! I grew up with kids because my mom was a full-time nanny so I learned how to work with kids at a very young age. I love spending time with little hearts by playing with them either indoor or outdoors, I love teaching them new things, and I love seeing a smile on their face so after being done with high school and being able to go back with what I love most would be such a great accomplishment for me:) I am a very trust-worthy, patient, and kind individual especially when it comes to taking care of your kids!
