Find an experienced nanny in Dallas, TX

Q: How much should I expect to pay a nanny in Dallas?

Nanny rates vary based on location, the nanny’s experience, and how many children need care. In most areas, nannies earn between $18–$30 per hour. Full-time, experienced nannies or those providing additional services (like tutoring or transportation) may charge more. On SitterTree, rates, expectations and schedules are set upfront for stress-free negotiations.

Q: What is the best way to find a nanny in Dallas?

It's easy to find a nanny in Dallas on platforms like SitterTree, which require ID verifications and background checks for nannies to stay active on the app. Look for nannies with relevant experience, and strong reviews from other parents. You can also meet candidates through local parenting networks or referrals, but it's important to conduct a reference check and background screening before making a decision.

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a nanny or daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Usually, daycare is more affordable for one child, but you might want to hire a nanny if you have multiple children or need flexible hours. Many parents choose nannies for personal attention, in-home convenience, and consistent care.

Q: What is the hourly rate for a nanny in Dallas?

Most nannies earn $18–$30 per hour, though rates vary by city, experience, and responsibilities. Specialized care (for newborns, overnights, or travel) often comes with a higher rate. Checking average rates in your area is the best way to stay competitive and fair.

Q: What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in Dallas?

A nanny provides regular, ongoing care—often weekly or full-time—and may help with routines, meals, school pickups, and child development. A babysitter usually provides occasional or short-term care, like date nights or weekends. Both roles are important, but you should make your choice based on the hours and consistency your family needs.

Q: How do you find a reliable nanny in Dallas?

Look for consistency, communication, and great reviews. On SitterTree, every nanny must meet Quality Standards, including a minimum 4.5-star rating, 0 no-shows, and no more than 3 last-minute cancellations. Ratings are generated from real parent reviews, so you can get an accurate sense of each nanny's reliability.

Q: How to safely hire a nanny in Dallas?

To make safe hiring decisions, review references, run a background check, and schedule an in-person or virtual interview. Ask about certifications like CPR and First Aid and previous experience. On SitterTree, nannies verify their identity and pass a background check, so you can focus on finding the right fit without worrying about what’s behind the profile.

Hello,my name is Evette and I have been a professional nanny for over 25 years.. I would consider myself dependable, consistent,,hands-on, very disciplined, structured self motivated and organized.. There are many reasons why I am a nanny, but mostly because I love to be a part of something greater than myself and watching a child grow and develop into remarkable young men and women is the greatest joy of my life.. I love being part of that journey. I have worked with children of all ages, but have multiple skill sets.. I am a multitasker high functioning, full of life and joy and a massive heart to love so many people. I love the idea of growing into a family.

I have experience working with children through multiple settings, including a high school early-childhood program where I worked in school classrooms. I currently work at Argyle Fine Arts Preschool and also assist with children’s programs through my church. In addition, I babysit weekly for a women’s group on Monday nights. These experiences have helped me develop strong skills in child care, safety, and positive guidance.
