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 grew up taking care of my younger disabled sister, feeding her through a G-tube and learning how to properly clean and take care of her for 13 years. I also used to babysit a little girl from 4 months until she was 2 years old. In school, I work with my peers who have special needs. I help them with learning or just talking and playing games. I’ve taken CPR lessons in school and have a certificate from the school. I am a very disciplined and responsible student, I'm working on graduating with an IB diploma and saving up for college. I intend to get my PsyD at the University of Florida.

My name is TeeAunna, but I mainly go by Tee. I have 8 siblings and 7 nephews and nieces. I love working with kids and I think I have enough experience to help parents that want it. I'm also pretty adaptable. I’ve worked with elderly people for almost 2 years now. I also have helped volunteer with people that have disabilities. I’m patient and trustworthy. I can follow a schedule and routine, but I’m also used to chaos. I do have a level 2 background check since I work in as a Home Health aide.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Sarah and I am 21 years old. I have lots of experience with all ages. I worked at 2 daycares for a little over a year, I've been babysitting since | was 14 y/o, and i’ve nannied two 8 month olds for about 6 months. Currently I am a nanny for an 1 1/2 year old girl and am looking to lower some of my hours to spend some time with different children! | have my CPR, First Aid, Infant Toddler, and Assistant Teacher license. I can't even explain how much I love children! A lot of people don't understand that all children are different and you have to figure out a way around them. They all learn different and act different in their own ways and it just amazes me. I have a clean driving record and a newer car so I can always pick up or drop off at school, daycare, etc. Kids tend to love me because l'm as fun and energetic as they are:) Let me know if you're interested

A little bit about me
I really want to be someone parents can trust, someone their kids feel comfortable with, the one person they can truly count on.
The truth is, I understand first hand just how important that. When I was raising my daughter sadly her father was rarely around, and most of the people I could rely on were either out of state or had passed away. I struggled alot emotionally without the help and support I needed.
I absolutely love my daughter, and she is the best thing that ever happened to me, my absolute best friend! But I also had a career I genuinely loved doing & was great at before becoming a mom, and I wished I could have continued that part of my life while still being the mother she needed. I never want another mother to feel like she has to choose between her children, her career, or simply having time for herself.
I know how important it is to find the right person, and I would love to be that support for a family who needs it. ❤️
