Reliable childcare should not be difficult to secure — even if you only need support a few days per week. At Tried and True – Nannies and Sitters, we connect families throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee with experienced, professional part-time nannies who provide consistent, high-quality in-home care.

 

Part-time placements are structured, dependable, and professionally matched — simply with fewer weekly hours than a full-time role.

 

What Is a Part-Time Nanny?

 

A part-time nanny works a consistent weekly schedule of fewer than 30 hours per week in your home. Schedules may remain the same each week or vary depending on your family’s needs.

 

Part-time nannies provide individualized care that supports routines, development, and daily structure — just like a full-time nanny, but tailored to families who need fewer hours.

 

Responsibilities of a Part-Time Nanny

 

Duties commonly include:

 

• Age-appropriate engagement and activities

• Meal preparation for children

• School pick-ups and drop-offs

• Nap schedules and daily routines

• Children’s laundry and organization

• Activity transportation

 

Expectations are clearly outlined during the placement process to ensure both the family and nanny are aligned from the beginning.

 

Is a Part-Time Nanny Right for Your Family?

 

Part-time care is often ideal for families who:

 

• Need after-school coverage

• Work hybrid or flexible schedules

• Have a stay-at-home parent who needs extra support

• Use preschool part-time

• Do not require 40+ hours of coverage

 

Even with fewer hours, consistency and professionalism remain essential. We help families build structured schedules that create stability for children and sustainable employment for caregivers.
