What drives the price
Most Greensboro families pay somewhere in the $9–$25/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) | $17.24 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$18.24 |
| 3+ kids | ~$19.24+ |
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
I have a few years of experience working with children! I have most experience working with infants-toddlers, but I have worked with older kids a lot too. I also have worked at a daycare and have watched more than 4 kids by myself! I know how to prepare snacks and lunch and any kind of meals as well! To create a lighthearted environment for the kids, I normally will put on music for them and will come up with creative games to play or crafts to make! I always make the most out of the time I spend with kids because it truly brings me a lot of joy and it never feels like a job to work with kids and I have a lot of patience with the littles! It flies by for me!
Note: I can also provide reference information from the daycare I recently worked at! And can provide an official background check!
I’m not available on Sundays and Monday’s but I can add a day to make up for Monday if needed! Lastly, I am a full time student so looking for part time hours! (8/9am-12:30/1pm or 3:30pm-7:30pm)

A little bit about me
My name is Rayne ( rain ) I am 20 years old. I graduated from Page High-school & went on to Hair school. I have a passion for children during my time in highschool I was a teacher cadet I spent my time working with Kindergarten children but I do have plenty of experience with older age groups. I also have experience with infants during Covid I would babysit my newborn nephew & my newborn cousin. That experience really taught me a lot about taking care of children. I developed a love for children at a young age due to always being surrounded by younger cousins & siblings. I am a very kind person me & kids always have the time of our life together. I do have nephews so I know that kids are not always easy to deal with but if you maintain patience & calmness you can very well have a smooth experience with any child. I love learning so I am excited to gain new knowledge from this experience!
