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 seasoned household assistant/Mother's helper with a strong background in hospitality. Having run my own household as a WFH mom for almost 20 years, I understand the challenges of keeping up with the chaos of life, especially when raising children. It's normal to feel frazzled and overwhelmed by the messiness of life and I can help by taking the stress of mounting clutter, chores and tidying so that you can focus on what's important - your family and your sanity.
I am not a housekeeper or a nanny. I am simply someone who has life experience and and clear understanding of how to help you manage your home and take many of the tedious chores off your plate so you can relax at the end of the day.
I am particularly good at tasks like organization, laundry, resetting your common living spaces and light meal prepping.
I'd love the opportunity to meet you in your home to see if we are a good fit.
