What drives the price

Most Phoenix families pay somewhere in the $15–$25/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
Hourly rate by number of kids

3+ kids~$21.44+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)

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! I’m Mia, a responsible and energetic college student at Arizona State University who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve grown up helping care for my younger brother, who is 10 years younger than me and on the autism spectrum, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to create a supportive environment for every child’s needs.

I’ve also babysat for family friends and neighbors, worked as a youth pastor for kids ages 4–11, and even spent time as a mascot (Easter Bunny!) entertaining and engaging with children. In addition, I volunteered with Make-A-Wish for four years, which strengthened my compassion and ability to connect with kids and families in meaningful ways.

I’m great with animals, love staying active, and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive space for kids to learn and grow. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy building strong relationships with the families I work with!
