What drives the price
Most Omaha families pay somewhere in the $14–$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) | $18.39 |

03

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
Hi there,
My name is Haley. I have six years of experience working with children. I started off in a daycare setting with children ranging from six weeks to five years old. I worked there for a total of four years. Shortly after that, I transitioned into working at my mom's elementary school as a temporary para working with children on the autism spectrum. Currently I work as a nanny in a household with four children ages 7, 12,13 and 15.
I have worked with this family for almost two years now. In the mornings I will get the children up and ready for school, while also preparing breakfast and snacks. After school I help with homework, dinner, and transportation to sports. I love being their nanny, but I am relocating from Omaha, Nebraska to Los Angeles, California. I am in school for elementary education while also working as a certified nurse assistant in a nursing and rehab facility, therefore I have my CPR/BLS certifications. Can’t wait to meet you and your littles!
Thanks, Haley
