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 am a 59 yr old mother of 4, two boys and two girls, and I came to America from Pakistan to raise my children in a place that can give them more opportunities. My husband supported our family as a trucker driver, whose long shifts often resulted in my carrying most of the child bearing load, which I absolutely loved doing. As the oldest child of my parents I have a large experience raising my 7 siblings from ages 5 and older. I was also an elementary school teacher back in Pakistan. However caring for my own children provided new experiences that I did not have with my siblings or students. The most valuable lesson I learned from all my caregiving experiences is that not every child is the same, but learning how to care and cherish them is the most rewarding feeling. Right now all of my children are grown up and in college or working their own jobs respectively. I am now left with lots of free time which I would love to help another family and also support my children’s education!
