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 am 50 years old, I grew up in a large Italian family in northern Italy, where I developed a deep appreciation for nature and nurturing relationships. My early skills in cooking, childcare, and animal care laid the foundation for my journey. I pursued a formal art education which enhanced my creative expression and patience. At 25, I married an American soldier, which introduced me to a life of mobility. I dedicated myself to community services, supporting military families, honing my empathy and understanding. As a loving aunt and grandmother, I cherish nurturing children's growth and development. Over the past decade, I cared for my mother with a rare form of Parkinson's disease, deepening my understanding of compassion and resilience. Alongside caregiving, art, I explore photography, focusing on "moody land," appreciating beauty in both light and darkness a philosophy that deeply resonates with my approach to life. I am eager to share my love and skills with others.
