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 Dads, my name is Katerine, I am 27 years old and 9 years ago l have experience taking care of children from newborns (I started with my twin nephews boy and girl in 2015 l had to help my sister in her postpartum) I was present in all its stages and I learned how to attend to each need from the first teeth, teach them to walk and then stimulation activities until the beginning of their school stage in kindergarten. I love doing activities such as painting, dancing or drawing, if the weather outside is adverse. But if it's in our favor, I love going out for a walk or going to the park, the children are excellent explorers. If your child requires tutoring or help with his homework, it will be an honor for me to help him in his learning in a didactic way. Even if you want me to learn another language such as Spanish or Arabic, I will pass on my knowledge to your child.
