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! My name is Gabby, I am 16 and I have always enjoyed caring for children. I have helped care for my niece Lily, who is 6, and my nephew Nakoa, who is 3, since they were babies. I regularly help with after-school routines, homework, preparing meals, playtime, and bedtime. I have about six months to a year of babysitting experience caring for a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old, as well as experience tutoring a 9-year-old. These experiences have helped me build patience, responsibility, and confidence working with children of different ages. I enjoy helping with learning, keeping kids engaged, and creating a safe, positive environment. I am dependable, organized and attentive to each child’s needs and routine. I balance school with family responsibilities while maintaining A’s and B’s and a 3.7 GPA. I would love to bring the same care, energy, and dedication to another family and be someone parents feel comfortable trusting with their children.

Hi! My name is Sofia Olivares and I am 18 years old. I am a sophmore at the University of Central Florida, and am majoring in Clinical Psychology. I am looking for a summer nanny job in order to grow my experience working with children. I love working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I have 6 years of experience coaching youth soccer and have volunteered as both a yoga instructor and soccer coach for children with special needs. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I hope to become a pediatric psychiatrist one day, and I enjoy any opportunity to support and care for kids in a positive, nurturing environment.
