What drives the price

Most Glendale families pay somewhere in the $15–$28/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$21.02/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.80/hr
Live-inSet by family$20.37/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

I have my bachelors in music performance, but paid my way through college and with nannying jobs. Even my first year after undergrad was spent nannying for newborn twins while I figured out my next steps. This last year I’ve been a teacher, which I have loved, but has left me with very little time to continue pursing my passions outside of work. In addition to looking for part time work, I also just really miss the more meaningful connections I can have nannying for a family with a few kids, as opposed to dividing my attention between 100. Outside of music and work, I love to read and discuss great books, bake, and spend time outdoors.

A little bit about me

Ever since I was about 12 years old I have also helped out at close family childcare centers and my senior year in high school I took an Early Childhood Development class and became an intern at a childcare center then began to work there for almost a year. I became uncomfortable with my employer and decided to move on. After that I still continued to help out in small childcare centers near my home and provide childcare to people that I knew. I’m motivated to provide care for children because it takes a village to raise a child and also a happy for spirited person to be around when parents are available is always a plus to have. I love to see children grow and advance and I love more to be apart of that process for them

A little bit about me

Caring for children has been one of my greatest passions since I began working as a nanny in eighth grade. Over the years, I’ve cared for children ranging from just four days old to 12 years, supporting families with two to six children.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Biochemistry, maintain BLS certification, and am continuing my education toward a career in nursing.

I believe every child deserves to feel valued, understood, and encouraged to explore their unique interests. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, outdoor adventures, and fun! As a horse owner, I also love animals and the homestead lifestyle.

Above all, I consider it a privilege to become a trusted part of a family’s life. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are receiving genuine affection, patience, and attentive care.
