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 a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with 3 years of professional daycare experience. I’ve worked with children ages 3 months–9 years, with most of my experience being with infants and young children.

I love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I’m comfortable with feeding, diapering, nap routines, age-appropriate activities, playtime, and following each child’s individual routine. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with the children I care for.

Outside of childcare, I’m currently attending college online and working toward my nursing degree. I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, cooking, baking, and spending time with my dogs. I’m very family-oriented and would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family!

A little bit about me

I am a stay at home parent and caregiver. This past year my youngest left for WSU. Since then, I have been seeking part time work and have found it challenging finding the right fit for my family's schedule. I care for my aging mother and I am looking to work outside the home part time for the first time in almost 20 years. I have extensive experience with children on the autism spectrum as my own son is autistic and I believe that these children just see the world a little bit differently than the rest of us.
I am a graduate of EWU with a BA in Management Information Systems and an MBA in Finance. Please consider hiring a professional mom to care for your children.
