FAQs for finding part time child care near you

Part-time child care is a form of child care that you can hire for less than 40 hours a week. While some people need full time child care while they work, other families may only need care a few hours a week. For example, if all of your children are in school, you may just need after school child care for the few hours between when your kids finish school and you get off work.

If you’re looking for part time child care, you can use Care.com to help you complete your search. You can review a variety of part time child care providers to see which caregivers have the experience you’re looking for, who charge a rate that works for your budget, and who is willing to take on the specific responsibilities you need help with, like making sure the kids understand their homework or cooking dinner.

To hire part time child care safely, we recommend that you run an independent background check, request professional references from all candidates, and interview caregivers before hiring one. On our end, we ask all part time child care providers to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck and those who complete a CareCheck have a badge on their profile that displays the date it was run.

Part time child care rates can vary due to many different factors such as where you live, how many children require care, and the responsibilities you need the caregiver to take on. With that in mind, the average hourly part time child care rate on Care.com is $19.88.

You can review different part time child care provider profiles on Care.com to get an idea of what responsibilities each provider is willing to take on. Some can tackle transportation needs, others may be happy to help with cooking and light housekeeping, and some may be great at making sure the kids get their homework done.
