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.
Experience
Number of kids
| 1 kid (baseline) | $20.65 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$21.65 |
| 3+ kids | ~$22.65+ |
Hours & schedule
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.54/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.26/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $20.60/hr | See live-in rates → |
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
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.

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!
