What drives the price
Most Phoenix families pay somewhere in the $15–$30/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
01
Experience
Experience is one of the biggest levers on a live-in nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $20.68 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$21.68 |
| 3+ kids | ~$22.68+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |
| Last-minute | +$3–5/hr |
Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.58/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21.65/hr | See live-in rates → |
Live-in rates are close to live-out here — but the package usually still includes room and board, so the all-in cost can be lower than it appears. The trade-off is space — you'll need a private bedroom and ideally a separate bathroom for the live-in nanny.

Tips to find a great live-in nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best live-in nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced live-in nannies with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
- Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
- Be specific about hours upfront. Most live-in nannies will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
- Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
- Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Marissa! I’ve been working with children for over 5 years now. I will be finishing my degree in early childhood by May of 2026. I will be continuing my education at Arizona State in the Fall. I have had a passion for teaching and supporting families for as long as I can remember. My interests are reading, hiking, knitting, and baking. I love being outside and exploring nature!
I have experience from long periods of babysitting, working in a childcare facility, and being a teachers assistant when I was in high school. I’m a fast learner and a hard worker. I work best with children that love being outdoors, experience multi-medias, and have schedules but can be flexible. I have experience with mental challenges and disabilities.
I can do light housework and cooking. I can work around dietary needs and deficiencies. I strive for balanced meals that are tasty and good for your body and soul.
I’m hoping I will be a great fit for your family!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a 19-year-old nanny and babysitter currently studying Biomedical Engineering at Arizona State University.
I’ve always loved working with kids, and I previously worked in a kindergarten classroom where I gained hands-on experience supporting young learners, helping with daily routines, and creating a fun, structured environment. Because of this, I specialize in caring for infants and children under 6, but I’m very adaptable and comfortable with kids of all ages.
I’m patient, reliable, and naturally upbeat, and I love keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities — whether that’s reading time, crafts, outdoor play, or simple learning games. Safety is a priority for me, and I’m organized, responsible, and able to follow routines or parent preferences closely.
