Questions Amherst parents ask

How much does a part-time nanny cost in Amherst?

Parents pay about $23 an hour on Wyndy across the US. Weekly pay depends on the hours you need, how many kids you have and the schedule.

Are Wyndy nannies background checked?

Yes. Before a sitter can take jobs on Wyndy, they pass a background check that covers an identity and Social Security number trace, criminal records and the national sex offender registry. We also verify their phone number and any college they list.

Who are Wyndy’s Amherst nannies?

College students, recent grads and experienced caregivers who live near Amherst, including students and grads of University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Bay Path College and Westfield State College. Each profile shows their school, experience and reviews from other parents.

What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

A babysitter usually covers occasional care, like a date night or a single afternoon. A nanny works a regular weekly schedule, like three afternoons a week. Many Wyndy sitters do both.

How does booking a Wyndy nanny work?
