What drives the price

Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

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 am a babysitter
I have 12 siblings and I am one of 3 older ones. I’ve raised most of my siblings so I am great with kids
I prefer to work with toddlers and up to 8 year olds
I am super hard working
I can clean
I can cook
I try to have as much fun while still staying productive
I’ve had 3 other jobs and it felt like something was missing and I think filling my life with joy by taking care of little ones would make that missing piece go away
So if your looking for a nanny that can work any time of the day or even some night I’m your girl
