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’m an incoming college freshman majoring in education, I’m from Nashville and will be heading to Cleveland, TN for school. I won't need work until the end of August! Right now, I’m looking for work to help pay for tuition and everyday college expenses. I love arts and crafts and anything hands-on. I was also involved in theater in high school, so I really enjoy spending time with kids and coming up with fun things to do together. Whether it’s crafts, games, going to the pool, trips to the zoo, or just hanging out at a playground, I like keeping things fun, safe, and interactive. I’m patient, responsible, and bring a lot of positive energy. I’m also happy to help with homework if needed and enjoy supporting kids as they learn. I love baking and cooking, and I’m always very careful when it comes to allergies or dietary needs. I also don’t mind helping with cleanup, I know kids can be messy, and I’m glad to pitch in wherever needed to make things easier for you!

A little bit about me

I love kids of all ages. Currently I am a caregiver for older adults so I have the background of meal prep, potty time, and housekeeping. I was a nanny for an infant in my past where I made bottles changed diapers and gave my upmost care. I am animal friendly or even reptile. I know basic knowledge skills as well as have a high school diploma so I’m more than happy to help with your little one’s homework. Finding a babysitter/ nanny is hard because you don’t know who is watching your kid but I give you the most reassurance when I say my job is to make sure your child doesn’t get into any danger. I was also a security officer for 3 years so I do have good observations skills and always on alert. I have CPR and First Aid so I can act quickly to save your babies. And lastly kids deserve to be kids, they shouldn’t have to grow up just yet, with my kid like personality I’ll make sure to play anything from Barbie’s to pirates to monster trucks or if we wanna have a calm night? MOVIES !!

Coming from a large family and being a twin has given me a unique perspective on relationships and teamwork. I absolutely love working with children and have extensive experience as a nanny for kids of various ages. I’m excited about new opportunities to share my skills and enthusiasm!
