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’m Emily, a 20-year-old wannabe science educator looking to gain more experience working with children! I have younger and older siblings, both with autism (and am autistic myself, meaning I will probably understand your child’s behaviors more than any stranger normally would!), and have experience in school working with those with special needs. I’m passionate about education in all forms, and I *love* to organize! I also have experience with food allergies and dietary restrictions if that’s of concern. I look forward to hearing from you!

Recent reference

"I've had the pleasure of having Sam as our next door neighbor and babysitter for our three children — a 6-year-old and 3-year-old twins. In a world where reliability can be hard to come by, Sam stands out. She is always on time and only cancelled once when she was sick. Our children absolutely adore her, and she genuinely enjoys playing with them and brings real energy and warmth to every visit. I was especially impressed by how calm and confident she was with the twins when they were just 5 months old. Caring for infants requires patience and attentiveness, and Sam handled it with ease. Most importantly, I trust her completely. Leaving your children with someone is an act of faith, and Sam has earned ours without question. Any family would be lucky to have her."
