Many parents are hiring night nannies these days. With the constant pressures from both parents needing to work outside the home, parents are left needing extra care for their children. When a couple has a newborn child, they need someone to wake up at night to feed the baby, so they can go to work the next morning. Other parents who have older children hire nannies to stay with their children, while they work the night shift.

Hours for night nannies vary with each parent’s needs. Typically, the arrangement is from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. The wages also vary depending on age and experience with dealing with children. For most agencies, they pay anywhere from $12-$25 an hour.

Tip One

If you are interested in becoming a night nanny, then you will need to either have previous experience working with children or apply to work with a daycare to gain experience. Parents are very concerned with the amount of previous experience with their potential night nanny.
