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’ve always wanted to help out some families and babysit! I would always be the only one babysitting my nephew all day while my sister would work so i’m really good and bonding with 1-12M old babies. Other than that, I’ve always helped watch my younger cousins from the ages of 4-10. Although i’ve never actually worked in child care or have experience outside of family, I’ve always kept the children safe and LOVE playing games with them!! I love kids, and since i can’t have one of my own currently, babysitting sounds amazing since i’d get to spend time with the children! I’d love the chance to expand and help out some people with babysitting.
