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 Bristol, I will be 35 this year in the summer of 2025.
I am first aid & CPR certified. I've helped raise my brother & My cousins whom are now all adults. I've worked in daycares, licensed facilities. Even at the YMCA in child watch.
I love helping out as much as I can and if I'm going to be working for a family I would love to get to know the family as well. I would love to do something cute for the parents as far as arts and crafts go because they are only little once. I am a single mother now to my own son who is almost two. He is my miracle child. He's my one and only and he loves being around other babies since he's been in daycare. He's a big help especially if I feed a baby their bottle He will help hold the bottle as well it is so adorable. If possible I would love to bring my son along with me because I have nobody to watch him and right now I cannot afford daycare. But if not then I completely understand but I would love to work for this family.
