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

Hi, I’m Kylie! I have a strong background in childcare with experience in babysitting, nannying, and preschool education. My journey in this field began in high school through an early childhood education course, where I earned my CDA, as well as CPR and First Aid certifications. I started nannying last year and quickly discovered how much I love working closely with families.

Most recently, I cared for a wonderful family who, unfortunately, relocated out of state. I’m now looking to build a connection with a new family in need of a caring, reliable nanny.

I’m based in Clearwater, FL, and currently available Monday through Friday. Starting in August, my availability will shift to part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as I continue my bachelor’s degree at the University of South Florida.

I’m dependable, positive, and easygoing. I’m happy to support your family in any way possible!
