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

About Me

I’m a dedicated mom and grandma with over 20 years of child care experience, primarily through volunteer work in my church community in ECD. For the past 3 years, I’ve also worked professionally with the YMCA, where I’ve continued to build strong relationships with children and families. While I truly enjoy working with kids and being part of their growth, I’m now looking for a more consistent position that allows me to bring my skills and energy to a stable environment.

In addition to my work with children, I’m also a part-time DJ—which adds a fun and creative outlet to my life. Music brings people together, and I love using it to create joyful moments, whether at events or just in everyday interactions.
