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 there! My name is Taryn, and I am a recent graduate from USC with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have over 11 years of nannying and babysitting experience working with children of all ages, and I truly have a special love for helping children learn, grow, and have fun.
Throughout my nannying experience, I have assisted families with a wide range of responsibilities, including school and activity drop-offs and pick-ups, attending extracurricular activities, accompanying children to appointments, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the household organized.
I am CPR certified, up to date on all vaccinations, and can provide multiple references from families I have worked with through various babysitting platforms.
I will be working in a psychology research lab on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am currently seeking a nanny position on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a dual-language Spanish kindergarten teacher and special education teacher looking to spend part of my summer caring for little ones. During the school year, I work with children of all abilities and learning styles, so patience, flexibility, and creativity are second nature to me. I love planning fun days that include outdoor play, trips to local parks, arts and crafts, reading, and plenty of opportunities for learning through play. For families interested in bilingual exposure, I can incorporate Spanish naturally into our daily activities. Whether we’re hunting for cool bugs at the park, making masterpieces with sidewalk chalk, or sharing a favorite story, I strive to create a safe, fun, and enriching environment where children can thrive.

Hi! My name is Gabrielle, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic person who enjoys working with children. While I’m new to professional nannying, I have experience caring for my younger cousins, and family members (ages 3-9) where I’ve helped with things like supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, and making sure they stay safe and entertained. I’m patient, attentive, and good at connecting with kids of different ages. I understand the importance of creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment, and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to each family’s needs.
