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! My name is Adrianna and I'm 17 years old, turning 18 this August. I'm originally from Bronx, New York, and will be starting college this fall, where I'll be majoring in Criminal Justice with a minor in Business.
I'm a dependable, caring, and positive person who enjoys helping others. I have hands-on experience caring for my nephews, baby cousin, and other children from infancy through early childhood. Through these experiences, I've learned patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported.
In my free time, I enjoy doing makeup, spending time with family and friends, traveling, shopping, and exploring beautiful scenery. I love staying active, being creative, and building meaningful relationships. I'm excited about the opportunity to support a family, contribute wherever I'm needed, and provide dependable care for both children and the household.

My Name is Kami and I’m a 15 year old in Highschool looking for a part-time Job until I can get hired to an actual job! I have Two Nephews which I babysit a lot, they are 2 and 3! I am very respectful, I do not mind tidying up, and I will follow all rules you have set! I can work on weekdays from 5:30 - 9 and on weekends Morning to Evening! I do rely heavily on my older sister for rides so i sincerely apologize if I cannot make a job sometimes. This is my first time trying this but I feel like I would do very well with kids as I have previously stated I babysit my younger nephews all the time! (I also dog sit)

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Mary Morris. I am a Catholic Christian, and I would like to serve a family in the area who is looking for part-time childcare and light housework help.
While I was in grad school, I watched two little boys for a family in Denver, and I discovered a love for working with children. I worked with several families with children of all ages during my time in Denver and later took a sales job.
I’ve recently stepped away from my job in the fast paced corporate world and am hoping to do something more flexible. As a part-time nanny, I would love to entertain your kids with games, reading, and educational activities. I make an effort to incorporate Christian values and life lessons into everyday moments and to help children find joy in learning.
As a part of my responsibilities, I do make sure parents come back to a tidy home. I’m happy to work with you on any other specific requests you may have.
