FAQs for finding an on call nanny near you

An on call nanny is a nanny who you can hire at the last minute. It’s fairly common to hire on call nannies when your usual nanny calls out sick or needs to take time off with little warning. Parents who don’t normally hire childcare can also hire an on call nanny, like when a last minute business trip arises or if a parent is too ill to care for their child.

You can hire a nanny without much notice by using Care.com to find an on call nanny who is happy to quickly step in when you unexpectedly need childcare. You can quickly find an on call nanny on Care.com by searching through local nanny profiles to get an idea of which nanny may be a good fit and to learn more about their work experience.

While the average hourly rate for on call nannies on Care.com is $21.55 as of June, 2025, this is just an average. On call nanny rates can vary greatly based on where you live, how much experience they have, and what responsibilities you want them to take on.

If your usual nanny calls in sick you can hire an on call nanny to fill in while they’re taking time to rest and recover. If you need extra help while your nanny is sick, you can hire an on call nanny service to help out for some or all of the time your nanny usually works.

On call nanny services can include feeding your children, looking after them, and even spending the night with them while you’re out of town. You can interview different on call nannies to learn more about the services they offer. For example, some may feel comfortable driving or helping with homework, whereas other on call nannies may only feel comfortable playing with the children and making sure they eat their dinner and brush their teeth.
