Finding a babysitter in Nairobi: rates, part-time options and a safety checklist

Updated 13 November 2026 · For families

For school holidays, weekends or a few days a week, a part-time babysitter is often all you need. On Aunty Nyumbani, filter Live-Out aunties by Flexible / part-time availability and daily or weekly pay.

How rates work

Babysitters set their own daily or weekly rate, shown on their profile. Agree the hours, what's included (meals, a bit of tidying), transport, and what happens if you come home late. Regular part-time work is still employment, and the minimum wage applies pro rata.

Safety checklist before the first day

  • Meet her first and see her with your children
  • Call at least one reference
  • Ask for ID, and a Certificate of Good Conduct for regular work
  • Write down emergency numbers, your address, allergies and medicines
  • Show her the first-aid kit, the gate and who may visit
  • Agree on screen time, snacks and bedtime
  • Ask her to send a quick message at agreed times
