Hiring A Part-Time Nanny
Posted by admin on 25 Feb 2008 at 11:26 am | Tagged as: Hiring A Nanny
A part-time nanny is required when parents need help with the care of the children for less than 40 hours a week. For example, care for the children before or after school, or when a parent is working from home and a nanny is needed to watch the children only for a few hours a day. Even for a stay at home mom, a part-time nanny is ideal when she needs time for herself to run errands or go to the gym, to mention just a few. In general, a part-time nanny hourly salary is higher than the full time one. Consider the following:
- The cost and the time consuming transportation to and from the employer’s home is the same for either case. However, the ratio between time consumed and daily income is much less favorable for the part time nanny.
- Job security is at a lower level for part-timers as conditions may change more often
- More flexibility is required to meet the employer’s changing schedule.
Because of these and other factors, it is considered a lot harder to find a suitable part-time nanny.

Thanks for these great advice. The greatest help for us was to finally find a local babysitter, which freed up a lot of time we really needed.

We are looking for a nanny for 4 days a week about 8 hours a day. Is this considered part-time and what would the cost be?
Thanks.
We are work-from-home parents (working out of our basement) looking for a PT non live-in nanny/babysitter, 2-3 afternoons a week for 3-4 hours each leading into our child’s bedtime (roughly 6-7pm). Our child is 14 months. We are located in Cloverdale, BC.

How much on average will I be looking at if I were to find a part time live out nanny (around 24 hours/week) to take care two of my children.
