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.

My name is Faith and i love kids! I always work with my mom’s friend’s kids and they always love me. People always tell me i’m going to be a great mom one day. i know i'm young but i'm truly a good person to trust with your kid. I always get told that i’m and “kid whisperer” meaning i’m amazing with kids and i love spending my day babysitting. It would truly mean a lot to me to be able to babysit, and it would help a lot with money problems. I’m mainly always free and always able to babysit.

sincerely from, hopefully your future babysitter, Faith Howe

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kaylee, I'm 18, and I am looking for a part-time job as a nanny, preferably starting in July. I have all required certifications for DCF, I am CPR certified, and I have been working at a preschool for 2 years. I have the most experience working with infants, although I have worked with all ages up to 4. Upon working at the preschool, I have had many babysitting gigs, and have always been great with small children, as I am from a big family myself! I just recently graduated High School, and will be attending FSW in the Fall, so my schedule will vary based on the day of the week, though I will discuss details via PM. Reach out if you have any questions, and thank you!! (:
