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 have a degree in Spanish and foreign languages, I am passionate about teaching and showing children a different and fun way of seeing the world.
I have 5 younger siblings and 5 dogs, so I gained experience from an early age. I have been a teacher in schools in rural and urban areas, I have also participated in volunteering giving French lessons to children living in vulnerable areas.
I consider myself an active, dynamic and creative person. My interest is not only to take care of children but to guide every moment towards meaningful learning that allows emotional, cognitive and social growth.
