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

Hello! My name is Paige Lowery, I am 20 years old and I just moved to the Eau Claire area. I am currently going to school to become an elementary teacher through CVTC! Once I graduate from CVTC next spring, I plan on attending UW-Stout to earn my bachelors degree. I also currently work at a day care center in Menomonie called Milestones Early Educational Community. But I eventually would like something closer to the Eau Claire Area. On Thursdays and some weekends I also work at a golf course as a waitress, bartender, and beverage cart attendant. Growing up, I have always enjoyed playing with kids and learning how to take care of them. My schedule can be flexible, as long as I know ahead of time when my services will be needed! Once, summer comes my time will free up more as well. I can't wait to meet you and your family!
