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
I enjoy everything from reading books and doing arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, educational games, and hands-on activities that match each child's interests and developmental stage. My goal is to make learning fun while helping children develop independence, kindness, and curiosity.
I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework help, and swimming supervision. I am CPR and First Aid certified and believe strong communication with parents is essential. I respect each family's routines and parenting style while providing consistent, reliable, and loving care.
