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! My name is Maria! I’m currently a college student at Texas Tech and I’m looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position in the Lubbock area. I’ve always enjoyed being around children and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. I have experience caring for children ages 1–4 through my church, and I also have experience caring for my younger sister. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with little ones, whether that’s playing with them, keeping them entertained, helping with meals, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’d love to become someone your family can trust and feel comfortable having around your children. My rate is $16/hour, and I’d love to chat, learn more about your family, and see if I could be a good fit for you and your little one! ❤️

Hi! My name is Payton McCain and I am currently 18 years old and enrolled at South Plains College to get a degree in nursing (specifically pediatric or NICU). I am originally from a small town in Northern California and moved to Texas for school. The past 3 years I have been babysitting for 3 boys. When I first started in 2023 they were ages 4,6 and 8. I have also babysat for a little girl for the past 2 years and when I started she was in the 2nd grade. While I’m not CPR certified I am fully confident in my abilities to take care of your little ones as I have worked with ages 7 months to 11 years old.
