The founder

I built this because I needed it.

I’m Amanda — a mom figuring out childcare around real life. School pickup. A few afternoons a week. The days when daycare falls through and you still have work to finish.

I wasn’t looking for a full-time nanny. I was looking for someone who fit the hours my family actually needed.

Then I realized I wasn’t the only one.

The problem

The childcare problem isn’t always finding a nanny.

It’s finding someone who fits the hours you actually need.

Traditional nanny agencies are often built around full-time placements. Many modern families need something more flexible.

  • Part-time care
  • School pickup
  • A few afternoons a week
  • Date-night care
  • Backup care
  • Occasional help
  • Seasonal care
  • Flexible schedules
Sound familiar?

“I’d really like help finding the right person and admittedly I’m getting worn down constantly interviewing folks.”

— Daniella M. · Houston parent
The solution

That’s why I built Part Time Nanny.

A local place for Houston families to find part-time and backup nannies. See each nanny's ID, reference, and background-check status before you book.

Post the hours you need. Browse nannies near you. Message, book a trial day, and pay securely in the app. Nannies keep their full rate — we never take a cut of their wages.

Built for part-time care

After school, summers, date nights, busy seasons — not only 40-hour weeks.

Built by a mom

Designed around the gaps traditional agencies leave for modern families.

Checks you can see

Nannies upload a government ID, which our team reviews, are searched against sex-offender registries (via Family Watchdog) using their name and date of birth, and give at least two professional references. We text each reference, and their replies appear on the nanny's profile as written. Nannies cannot take bookings until our team verifies their ID.

Real families

Real Families. Real Childcare Solutions.

Because sometimes you need a nanny for a few hours, a few days, or right when your childcare plan falls apart.

Sometimes you don’t have time to plan ahead.

I went on the app and had a sitter booked in about 5 min.! She was amazing and saved the day so we could get everything wrapped up. My son had so much fun with her!

Finally, another option.

We’ve been primarily relying on family for any type of babysitting, so this is wonderful!!
