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 there! My name is Paige, and I adore watching and working with children! I am very well rounded with babies, toddlers, and bigger kids. I have a neice and nephew who I have watched over from birth for my brother and sister in law up until I left for college. I now only watch them over the summers when I occasionally go home, but I love every second of it. From watching them for so long, I have become very well rounded when it comes to babies and toddlers. I am a very cleanly person, I like to keep my space tidy, so I do not mind cleaning up a bit around the home if needed. I am a sophomore at Blinn college, and I will be transferring into Texas A&M. I am an elementary education major, and look forward to having my own classroom of kids one day :).
