What drives the price
Most Concord families pay somewhere in the $17–$31/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) | $21.94 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$22.94 |
| 3+ kids | ~$23.94+ |
Hours & schedule

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $23.74/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $21.42/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $22.18/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
My name is Cayleigh and I am a mother of 5, ranging from ages 18 yrs all the way down to 2 1/2. I currently nanny share with a family that is sadly moving away. The ages of the boys I was watching are 8 months old and 3. I absolutely love kids and as 4 of my oldest are in school I
have my 2 1/2 daughter with me.
I am looking for another family to love on along with my children. As I understand everyone has different parenting styles I respect each one and will do what is asked of me. I am loving and understand each child is different, it is very fun learning what they individually need. My style with children is teaching through child guided play, music, books, animals, working together and the outdoors.
