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 there I'm Mady! I have experience caring for children from infancy through 5th grade, both in my own home and in structured environments. Growing up with multiple siblings, I naturally took on a caregiving role early on, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to manage different personalities and needs at once. I’ve also babysat regularly and spent the past two years serving in kids ministry, where I’ve helped lead, supervise, and engage groups of children in a safe and positive environment. I’m comfortable with everything from basic care and routines to creating fun, meaningful activities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with both kids and parents.
