What drives the price
Most Fayetteville families pay somewhere in the $11–$20/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
01
Experience
Experience is one of the biggest levers on a part-time nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $15.01 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$16.01 |
| 3+ kids | ~$17.01+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

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.

Hi!
My name is Alaysia Murry, and I'm currently a 19-year-old undergraduate student at the University of Arkansas, majoring in Political Science. I have a strong background in working with children, including a year studying child development and an internship at Miss Polly's Learning Center, where I gained hands-on experience in a daycare setting.
I'm also the youngest girl in a large family of eight and have three younger siblings, so caring for children has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my studies, I'm currently an intern at the Walton Arts Center, which has further developed my sense of responsibility, creativity, and time management.
I'm dependable, energetic, and genuinely enjoy working with kids. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your child (ren)!
Looking forward to speaking with you!
