Is it legal to hire a part-time nanny in Dubai?
Yes, if she is properly allowed to work for you. The two clean routes are sponsoring her yourself as a domestic worker, or booking hourly help through a licensed provider. A nanny who is sponsored by another family cannot simply work extra hours for you. Ask every candidate who her sponsor is before you agree anything.
How to find a live-out nanny near you
Use the database filter for live-out candidates, then ask each one where she lives. A nanny who stays in the same community or one metro stop away is far more likely to be on time for a 7 am start. Agree a written schedule, overtime rate and how transport is paid.

A nanny who works for you during the day but lives in her own accommodation. She costs more in salary than a live-in nanny because she pays her own rent and food.

You can sponsor a domestic worker and agree shorter hours, but the visa obligations (insurance, salary, ticket) stay the same as for full time.
