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.

Hello, my name is Annaleis. I am a wife of a fire fighter for Cobb County and we have 3 amazing children of our own. They all attend schools in Kennesaw and I have a passion for babies/children. I have worked for Bogalusa Early Head Start for over 7 years. I was a substitute teacher for grades K-12 at a charter school called Northshore Charter School. Then I landed a permanent position as a Special Needs Paraprofessional grades 6th-8th for 3 years. My kids and I recently moved from LA on 1/3/2025 due to my husband landing the job as a firefighter here in this beautiful city of Kennesaw. I am currently looking to work from 8 or 9am- 2pm. Two of my children get off the bus at 2:50 and they are 2nd grade and 4th grade so I need to be home by then.
