What drives the price
Most Omaha families pay somewhere in the $14–$23/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.

| 2 kids | ~$18.48 |
| 3+ kids | ~$19.48+ |
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! My name is Evelyn and I’m 16 years old. I’m responsible, caring, and enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, safe environment for them. I’m homeschooled which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. I also play competitive softball, so during the summer my weekends can be pretty busy with games and tournaments, and I usually have practice in the evenings during the week. I love spending time outdoors, playing games, doing crafts, and helping keep kids active and engaged. I’ve had paid babysitting experience with families and always try to make sure kids feel safe, supported, and have fun.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Rae! I’m 18 yo, I just recently moved back to Omaha in January. I’m the oldest of five kids, so caregiving has always been a second nature to me. I’m currently a psychology and criminal justice major at Northeast. I take classes online throughout the year. I also work as a server at the City Pub! In the past, I’ve worked as a lifeguard and in-home elder care provider, so I would say I’m experienced with responsibilities, routines, and staying calm under pressure. I’m not certified in CPR or First Aid right now, I’ve just been trained for said previous jobs. But I’d feel confident handling emergencies if I was ever put in a position. I’m dependable, good with kids, and happy to help however I’m needed.
