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 Maiya Maldonado! I have over 5 years of childcare experience through my church, where I worked in the nursery and early childhood programs. For the past 3 years I’ve also babysat and nannied for families, caring for children of all ages. In addition, I’ve coached gymnastics and cheer for 4 years, which helped me develop patience, leadership, and the ability to create a fun but structured environment. I currently lead a middle school and high school youth group, so I have experience guiding older kids as well. I’m also pursuing a degree in education because working with children has always been my passion. I love helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, and I strive to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment wherever I go. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and engaged with their children.
