What drives the price
Most Oxford families pay somewhere in the $8–$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.

| 3+ kids | ~$14.97+ |
03
Hours & schedule

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 there! I’ve spent the past 8 years as a camp counselor working with kids of all ages, and last year I was a full-time nanny for a wonderful family. I truly enjoy spending time with children—helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. Looking forward to connecting with families who are looking for a caring and experienced nanny!

A little bit about me
I am 20 years old and I am a student at Ole Miss. I have a six year old niece that I have helped take care of or babysat on my own since she was about a month old. I have little cousins that I have helped watch and I have also been paid to babysit other children. At my church in my hometown I have helped with the younger kids activities and at vbs. I can cook or clean if needed and I can watch pets as well if it’s needed.
