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'm a college student and I've always really enjoyed spending time with kids whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. I'm responsible, patient, and quick on my feet, so I can handle whatever comes up. Babysitting feels natural to me, and I love being someone that kids can count on and have fun with.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m ose! I’m a junior at Elkins High School and a volleyball player. I love kids and have always enjoyed helping them learn and grow. I’ve also had experience as a full-time babysitter last summer with a great family, which taught me a lot about being responsible, fun, and patient. I love painting, reading, dancing, listening to music, and coming up with creative activities to keep kids engaged. My favorite subject in school is history hearing about how the world was so different from ours is extremely interesting to me. I’m a girly girl but also a girl who can live in sweatpants and hoodies. I’m excited for the chance to be a nanny and bring my energy and care to a new family!

Hi my name is Victoria I’m 20 years old in college studying for radiology. I have 3 siblings: 7 year old brother , 15 year old brother and a 27 year old sister. I have a big family who taught me how to cook, clean, love etc. I grew up watching kids ever since I was little, so I know the tricks of what upsets and calms children down. Meaning I can help play with them with their toys and care for them when they’re upset. I love kids and hope to be an amazing mom one day.
