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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$20.26/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.01/hr
Live-inSet by family$20.48/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 here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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

Hi there! 💕 I’m so excited to introduce myself! My name is Kayleigh Mueller and I am 21 years old, I graduated with my High School Diploma in 2023 and I have about 5 years of childcare experience working with children from infancy through 12 years old. I’ve previously worked as a toddler and preschool teacher, as well as a nanny for almost two years before the kiddos headed off to school. I’m passionate about creating a safe, structured, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and make special memories. I love getting the kiddos out of the house for activities and creating age-appropriate curriculum to keep their days engaging and exciting! I’m a great listener, organized, dependable, and always willing to go above and beyond to help make a family’s day run smoothly. I’m extremely positive, outgoing, and truly passionate about what I do. Working with children is something I genuinely love!
