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 Chloe, I am 26 years old and I have a cpr certification. I have been working with children just about my whole life. Starting with Bible school, then taking my own babysitting jobs throughout school. I have been working with ages 0-10 as an aid for 4 years. I then became a 3’s teacher and I have loved it. I love cooking,cleaning & I am super bubbly! I love Jesus and caring for others. I love all children but work well with the younger ones! I have worked with babies and toddlers the most! I do have some car troubles sometimes but I am willing to work hard and be there no matter what! I love what I do but I needed a change. I have a very soft more sensitive heart and want to use that for good. I am also a very crafty girl and very outgoing!
