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 Matti. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for taking care of those around me. My first job was a lifeguard and I immediately discovered I loved being around children. I have taken 3 years of childhood education in my high school and I have absolutely loved teaching children. When I am around family I am always the designated babysitter! I hope to find a family I can work with whether it’s only for the summer or long term as well. In the future I hope to go into child education. Side note I loveeeeee dogs so that would not be an issue.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Kamila, I’m 18 years old and I just graduated high school! I moved around a lot growing up and I speak English and Portuguese fluently and speak a decent amount of Spanish and french. Growing up I’ve always had a passion for children, my mother used to tell me that everywhere we went I would bring a baby doll with me and tend to it like a real child. I love children, I have a niece that I babysit and care for, she’s 9 months old and super playful! In high school I took a child development class and learned all about the needs and responsibilities of caring for a child. I love kids of any age, but most importantly I want every kid to feel needed, loved, and cared for! On Sunday's, I spend some time in my church’s nursery, playing and caring for children. My hope is that parents can leave their children with a trusted adult, who will love and care for their children as their own.
