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 moved down here from Louisiana where I lived for the past two years. I’m originally from New Mexico. All throughout high school and college I was babysitting the younger kids in my neighborhood, family, and my parents friends.
I do have a full-time job (News) that requires me to work the evenings (3pm-11pm) during the week. I can work a max of 3 days a week with some weekends. But my job becomes my first priority when I have a schedule switch or have to work the weekends. All I ask for is flexibility and communication.
I love kids and animals. I do love to cook, but baking I’m still trying to master. On my free time I love to go on walks or find a new adventure around town! Majority of my free time is walking my dog, working out, and self-care. Which I would like to still have time to do to keep myself healthy and happy.
