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! im currently a student at UO, but I am originally from Portland. I have two full time families back home, and I would love to find new families to work with here! Ive been a Nanny since I was 13 and ive loved it as a job. This summer I worked for a family with a special needs, and I think it really improved my skills when working and communicating with children. all throughout high school I played sports and I always try to implement into the time I am taking care of the kids. I also spent a summer working construction building play structures which also makes me very inclined to take the kids there. I strongly believe in activity based time, rather than TV or electronics.

Hi! I am an experienced nanny/babysitter who worked through college and my mid twenties with kids of all ages. I played college sports and have a creative mind. I just turned 33, married, and live in Eugene. Currently looking for a part time nanny gig to ease the increased cost of living, and what better job is there than being a consistent & positive influence in a child’s life? Currently an aunt to 4 (soon to be 6) young ones, and a “mom” to my 7 year old cat. I love seeing the process of kids learning and growing, and providing a safe space for them to flourish. Please send a message my way if you think we could work well together! Thank you!
