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

I’m opening my heart and space to support a family in need of part-time (or possibly full-time) nanny care here in the Lynchburg area.

Along with 7 years of experience in an elementary school setting, I am Doula certified and can provide trusted references.

What I bring is not just childcare, but a deeply nurturing, grounded presence. As a breathwork facilitator, I have a strong understanding of the nervous system and supporting children in feeling safe, regulated, and seen. I love creating gentle structure, encouraging creativity, and holding space for each child’s unique spirit to be expressed.

My approach is rooted in connection, patience, and emotional awareness—meeting children where they are while helping them grow with confidence and ease.

If this resonates or you know a family who could use this kind of support, I would love to connect

A little bit about me

I’m a 16-year-old high school student looking to babysit part-time during the school year and some days during the summer. While I don’t have formal babysitting experience, I do occasionally watch my mom’s friends’ kids and really enjoy spending time with them. I’m available to babysit from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM on school days, and from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM during the summer. I’m responsible, patient, and eager to help out with child care. However, I want to note that I do not have CPR or first aid training, and I do not have a driver’s license yet, so I would need to be at a location I can get to or within walking distance.
