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
I’m a caring and dependable mom of two grown children. I have 8 years of paid experience working with children from birth through 10 years. I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I have passed a Live Scan Background Check. I previously cared for up to 8 children in my California state licensed in home family daycare.
I truly enjoy caring for children and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel safe. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones.
Outside of childcare, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and volunteering in my community. I’m currently looking to connect with a wonderful family in my area and build a trusting, long term relationship.
I’d love the opportunity to meet and see if we’re a good fit! 💗

A little bit about me
My name is Jennifer and I am the mother to 3 amazing kids (24,22,15)! I have my degree in Early Childhood Education from SDSU, taught preschool for 3 years, homeschooled my kids, have 10+ years caring for infants/toddlers in my home and in their home and have taught Sunday School at my church for 6+ years. Ever since I can remember all I wanted to be was a mom and if I had to work I wait work with littles. The family I am currently with has decided to put their two year old on school. I’m heartbroken! I was only with this family for a year and have grown to love them so much! They are amazing! I worked part time around my daughter’s school schedule 2 days a week while dad worked from home. It’s been the perfect fit for both of us and I’m hoping to find something close to it. The great thing about me is I don’t HAVE to work, I WANT to work. I miss having littles in the home and this fills that space for me. 😊

A little bit about me
My name is Mina! I am 24 years old and I currently attend Cal State San Marcos trying to obtain my communications degree. I hope to someday be a collegiate level professor, and I am a lover of history and humanities. I love kids and as the oldest sister of a family of 6 kids, i’ve done my fair share of helping out. I hope to one day be blessed with a large family of my own one day and being a mother has always been one of my biggest dreams. Babies and toddlers are my forte, but children of all ages are welcome to me. I play many instruments along with being an affluent singer and dancer. In my free time, I love to read, watch movies, perform in my college's singing groups, practice photography, and have picnics on the beach. Food is one of my main hobbies, so cooking and eating is always something I look forward to and try to make time for each day. I am always open to new experiences and challenges, and try to approach everything with an open mind. I look forward to meeting you!
