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! My name is Chelsea Woods, and I recently graduated from Franklin High School. I’m currently looking for a summer nannying position! I’ve always had a passion for working with kids and have experience with children of all ages. During the school year, I babysat weekly for a Thursday Bible study group and also babysit regularly for several families, so I have plenty of references available. I’m CPR and Red Cross certified through SafeSplash Swim School, where I worked as a swim instructor for young children for the past year. I also volunteer in preschool ministry at Church of the City every Sunday because I genuinely just have so much fun working with kids! I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and happy to help with light cleaning, cooking, and pet care. I’d love the opportunity to support a new family this summer!
