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 am Payton and I am a 22 year old college graduate looking for a nanny job in the SWFL area! I am the oldest sibling of 3 and I love working with children. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Early Childhood Development which has given me the knowledge and understanding of how to take care of children in the most developmentally appropriate way possible. I have worked and volunteered in many settings with young children, and particularly this past summer I was a camp counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Maine where I lived and took care of 18 13-year-old girls and it was one of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had. Above all else I am hardworking, driven, and dependable and I am always wanting to put a smile on someone’s face. I can’t wait to meet you!

A little bit about me

I grew up taking care of my younger disabled sister, feeding her through a G-tube and learning how to properly clean and take care of her for 13 years. I also used to babysit a little girl from 4 months until she was 2 years old. In school, I work with my peers who have special needs. I help them with learning or just talking and playing games. I’ve taken CPR lessons in school and have a certificate from the school. I am a very disciplined and responsible student, I'm working on graduating with an IB diploma and saving up for college. I intend to get my PsyD at the University of Florida.

A little bit about me

I am new to Florida and raised in Michigan. I love the outdoors, cooking, playing with my two nieces, and I'm obsessed with cleaning and organizing. I raised my eldest niece for the first couple years, due to my sister being a single working parent. With that, it made me want to be a nanny/babysitter and help other families in need of help!
