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

Hello, I'm Hailey. I've had years of experience with raising children, such as my nieces and younger sibling. I've always been very maternal and great with children. With my many years of working several workplaces, I have also become very accustomed to housework and cleaning, ensuring my worksites have been squeaky clean by closing time! I'm currently in college, and I was in mainly honors and aice classes throughout high school and middle school and can easily tutor and help your children with homework and school lessons when needed. I take particular academic interests in math, science, and English. I am majoring under Lynn University's Professional Pilot program under their Bachelor's in Science, but currently enrolled at Palm Beach State College to cover basic credits. I enjoy cooking, learning, topics of aviation, long walks. I can ensure daily meals prepared, help with homework, housework fulfillment, and hone to any of your customary needs! It's a pleasure to get to know you :)
