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

My name is Skylerr, and I’m 16 years old. I love art and working with children because I enjoy being creative and helping others. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who enjoys making kids feel safe, happy, and comfortable. In my free time, I like doing art and creative activities, which I also enjoy sharing with children through crafts and fun projects.

I have experience working in daycare settings and babysitting, where I helped care for children by assisting with meals, activities, cleaning, and daily routines. These experiences have helped me become more responsible and improve my communication and caregiving skills. I am also CPR trained, which has taught me how important safety and staying calm in emergencies are when caring for others.

In the future, I want to become a nurse because I enjoy helping people and making a positive difference in their lives. Working with children has helped me grow personally and has strengthened my passion for caring for others.

"Hi! I’m Ada, a 17-year-old senior at Foster High School, born and raised in Texas with Nigerian roots. I’ve been babysitting since I was 11 and have developed a lot of patience and care over the years. I have experience working with children, including those with special needs, as my younger brother is autistic.
