FAQs for night child care near me in Des Moines, IA

If you need to find child care at night near you in Des Moines, IA, the average hourly pay rate for that type of caregiver on Care.com is $16.58. It’s worth noting that how much you’ll actually spend will depend on factors like how many children you have and how many years of experience the caregiver has. You can also expect to spend more on an overnight caregiver compared to having a caregiver just come to your home for a few hours in the evening.

If you need to find night time child care, it’s fair to keep safety top of mind. While all night child care providers on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck, we still strongly recommend you do your own research by checking references and doing an independent background check. You can also compare 20 reviews of night child caregivers near you in Des Moines, IA from other families when doing your research.

You can review 26 profiles of night caregivers near you in Des Moines, IA to find the care you need for your family. You can also host interviews with different caregivers to see who can help with additional responsibilities like after school transportation, cooking, and light housework—all of which can come in handy if you’ll be away for a day and night.
