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

My name is Ella MacGlashan, and I am a senior at High Point University majoring in Strategic Communications. I have been working in child care since I was 13 years old and have experience caring for children of a wide variety of ages. I love working with kids and finding creative ways to keep them engaged, entertained, and happy while providing a safe and positive environment. One of my most memorable experiences was traveling to Portugal with a family for a month to nanny for their children. This was an amazing opportunity that allowed me to gain valuable experience. Outside of child care, I love spending time outdoors, trying new activities, and exploring new places. I would describe myself as caring, responsible, outgoing, and adventurous. I enjoy getting to know each child's personality, discovering their interests, and creating fun experiences together. I look forward to connecting with families and making a positive difference in their children's lives!

A little bit about me

I have a few years of experience working with children! I have most experience working with infants-toddlers, but I have worked with older kids a lot too. I also have worked at a daycare and have watched more than 4 kids by myself! I know how to prepare snacks and lunch and any kind of meals as well! To create a lighthearted environment for the kids, I normally will put on music for them and will come up with creative games to play or crafts to make! I always make the most out of the time I spend with kids because it truly brings me a lot of joy and it never feels like a job to work with kids and I have a lot of patience with the littles! It flies by for me!
Note: I can also provide reference information from the daycare I recently worked at! And can provide an official background check!
I’m not available on Sundays and Monday’s but I can add a day to make up for Monday if needed! Lastly, I am a full time student so looking for part time hours! (8/9am-12:30/1pm or 3:30pm-7:30pm)
