Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $18.28/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.68/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $19.43/hr | See live-in rates → |
Part-time and full-time hourly rates are similar here — short schedules don't always command a premium when full-time openings are easy to fill.
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.

Im very responsible, reliable, I can crack a good joke that'll really make you laugh, I love to bring smiles and comfort to everyone I interact with, I have been told by many that I am very comforting and an easy person to talk to. I am very very good at cooking/baking I have always loved to come up with new recipes. I love when everything is neat and clean so I will never leave your house messy. I absolutely love to help out whether it's with homework, to talk about feelings, to learn a new sport, anything at all.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kayla and I’m 24 living in Moreno Valley. I’m extremely calm, very kind, thoughtful, and creative (so I love to do crafts). I’m looking for a job working with kiddos because I found im naturally good with kids. My first job I had the opportunity to work with kids was at an indoor playground called Kids Empire. I was keyholder / party host and I loved it but the hours weren’t enough. I was responsible for the cleanliness, safety, and fun for the facility when management was not around. My current job, I also work with kids but they dont offer many hours either. I’m an after school program leader for about 15-25 kids daily. I ensure they have snack time, academic hour (homework help), spark (PE) and enrichment (sensory enriching activities). I work with kids from grades tk-2nd grade and I’m comfortable tutoring for those grades as well. Overall, I just want to see the kiddos happy, healthy, and having fun. If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out!! Thank you!
