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 have 3 years of experience caring for children, primarily babysitting family members and family friends. Through this experience, I have developed strong patience, responsibility, communication, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for children while helping with their daily routines, activities, and needs. I am now looking to expand my experience by working with families outside of my personal network and continue developing my childcare skills. I am dependable, caring, attentive, and willing to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I am a very social person, and as someone who is the oldest sibling and has 2 younger ones, I am definitely a bubbly one that won't get tired of your kiddo :)!
