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.

Recent reference

"Tldr; I cannot recommend Taylor highly enough and you should hire her. Taylor was my daughter's nanny for about a full year in 2025. She was an absolute joy to work with, and we would not have separated with her had our family not been moving out of state. Taylor is one of those people who clearly brings dedication, care, personal accountability, and good common sense to everything she does. She helped us to establish a successful schedule for our daughter, kept the house tidy and clean, provided early education to our daughter (colors, shapes, animals), and was an essential part of keeping our chaotic household running smoothly. She has clear and friendly communication, can firmly keep boundaries and rules for the child while maintaining an environment of lighthearted play, tackles even the toughest task with a good attitude (my daughter has bad separation anxiety), and goes above and beyond in ways that really make a difference. Any family would be lucky to have her in their life!"

A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Riah! 😊
I’m a compassionate, dependable, and energetic caregiver with a genuine love for children and creating meaningful connections with them. To me, being a nanny is about more than simply keeping children safe—it’s about creating a warm, nurturing environment where they feel comfortable being themselves, exploring the world, learning new things, and knowing they have someone they can trust.
I have experience working in daycare settings, along with a background in healthcare. My healthcare experience has taught me to be extremely attentive to details, remain calm under pressure, and communicate clearly at all times
Most importantly, I want the children I care for to feel safe, loved, heard, and encouraged while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring and capable hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family, learn what’s important to you, and become someone you can truly rely on. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon
