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) | $16.73 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$17.73 |
| 3+ kids | ~$18.73+ |
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 | $17.61/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.16/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.
How do Omaha live-in nanny rates compare to state and national averages?

| United States | $17/hr | +1% |
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

A little bit about me
I'm looking for a live-in position (hopefully). Long story short I got out of an abusive relationship and am looking to restart my life. I don't have a car, or a place to live, but I am very well rounded in all life skills. My passion is music and dance, I've worked with all sorts of people from around the world as well as teaching kids of all ages different instruments. I have worked in different childcare facilities as a preschool teacher, and a SpEd coordinator. I have been an RBT, so I am very good with difficult behaviors as well. I have a huge passion for cooking and food, and have worked for 2 cleaning companies, so trust that everything will be done to a high standard :) I have also done lots of volunteer work at the humane society and grew up on farms so I am good with all types of animals! I am looking for any opportunity I can get right now, so feel free to reach out!
