What drives the price

Most Chandler families pay somewhere in the $15–$30/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$21.54/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$20.26/hr
Live-inSet by family$20.60/hr

Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.

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 nanny.

Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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 Lilyana Padilla! I’m currently a nursing student at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, and I’ve always loved working with children. I’ve been babysitting for family and friends since I was about 12 years old, so caring for children has been something I’ve really enjoyed for many years.
I currently work at Urban Air Adventure Park and have been there for about a year and a half. In my role, I supervise children, make sure they’re playing safely, and help create a fun and positive environment for them. I’m now looking for a nannying position where I can use that experience while getting to work more closely with a child and family.
My schedule is very flexible, with one exception: I have a college class on Wednesdays from [phone number hidden] AM. Other than that, I’m available Monday–Friday.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lily and I am currently going to ASU to get my major in Psychology and a minor in early childhood education. I am the oldest of 7 kids and I have been “babysitting” all my life but officially started babysitting for other families when I turned 14. I have watched kids (1-10 at a time). Whether it was to watch a family of 3 or for a group of kids so all the parents could hangout. I’ve watched all ages varying from babies to preteens. I have my own car and am able to pick kids up for school or drop them off for an electives/extracurriculars if needed.
I am looking for a full availability or even partial. I do have school but only twice a week for 3 hours. And if there is ever a rare moment where I’m unavailable I have many trustworthy friends who could easily step up!
I have grown up loving on kids and helping them whether it was within my own household or even my church.
With that being said, I would love to be able to love on yours:) please give me a text or call!
