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 Maya!

I've been working in childcare for about four years, with experience caring for children ages 2–12. Before this school year, I was a full-time preschool teacher for ages 3–5, and I currently work with 5th and 6th graders in the mornings.

I'm finishing up my final year of college as an online student, which gives me flexibility during the day.

I'm looking for a kind, welcoming family to nanny for on weekday afternoons and occasional weekends as I complete my studies. I value a professional, respectful working relationship — I work best with set hours and a written contract upon hire, and I believe clear expectations make for a happy, stable arrangement for everyone.

I'd love the chance to bring my experience, patience, and care to your family.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Ruby Jameson! I'm from Bend, Oregon, and I'm a junior here at the University of Utah. I grew up nannying for multiple families in high school and started babysitting at 12 years old. I also worked with children while teaching dance. Being with children, being creative, and creating a nurturing and exciting experience is something I'm really passionate about. I love getting to know the families, as I am still close to other families I have worked for. I love to cook, help around the house, and find adventurous things to do with your kids, making it a fun and productive experience. I'm hoping to find that same experience here in Utah and build a good relationship with the people I work for and the kids I work with!

Hi, I'm Daniele Castro, 20 years old, with experience in hospitality, security, food service, and childcare. As the oldest of three siblings raised by a single mother, I helped care for my younger siblings growing up, which taught me patience and how to keep kids safe and engaged. I've also worked two jobs at once for much of the past few years, so I know how to manage my time, stay punctual, and handle responsibility without letting anything slip. I stay calm under pressure, keep a positive attitude, and take real pride in being a dependable presence for the kids I care for.
