What drives the price
Most Fayetteville families pay somewhere in the $7–$20/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) | $14.51 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$15.51 |
| 3+ kids | ~$16.51+ |
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.

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 Katherine Davila, and I truly enjoy caring for children in a safe, loving, and family-oriented environment. I am the mother of a 19-month-old daughter, which has given me daily hands-on childcare experience and taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and kindness.
I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming home with age-appropriate toys, indoor play areas, and a spacious backyard where children can enjoy outdoor play and activities under close supervision. My daughter is a sweet and friendly little girl, giving children the opportunity to interact and play with someone close to their age.
My priority is to make every child feel safe, happy, and loved while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little one is in caring and trustworthy hands. I would be happy to answer any questions and welcome you to visit my home so you can see the environment where your child will be cared for.
