Full-time, part-time, and live-in live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.25/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.65/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $20.38/hr | See live-in rates → |
Part-time and full-time hourly rates are similar here — short schedules don't always command a premium when full-time openings are easy to fill.
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
With over nine years of experience as an educator, caregiver , and mentor across international settings, I bring more than just supervision to a nanny role—I offer thoughtful guidance, dependable support, and a nurturing presence that children grow to trust and love. My background in teaching, both in classroom and camp settings, has equipped me with the patience, creativity, and structure that young minds need to feel secure and thrive. I’ve worked with children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, which has shaped me into an attentive, responsive caregiver who honors each child’s unique personality and learning style. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or simply being a calming presence after a busy day, I take pride in creating safe, caring environments where children feel seen, heard, and valued.
