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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$16.21/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.96/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.43/hr

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 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.

Hello! My name is Alissa Mitchell and I am a 24 year old native Texan. I moved to Pueblo earlier this month and I consider myself blessed to be a part of this community. Although I don’t have any children of my own, I dream of being a mother one day and adore every child as the blessing that they are!
I have two pets of my own, a cat named Pine and a dog named Bear. In the past I have had the opportunity to foster bottle kittens, and I am excited to be able to engage in that again in the future.
I love plants and the clean energy that they bring! In my free time I often find myself doing creative projects, like embroidery and painting. I am very excited to get into the art of candle making.
Thank you for reading a little about me and considering me in caring for your most precious possession(s)!

A little bit about me

Being a nanny is a daily immersion into a world of pure, unfiltered joy and chaos. Each day is a new adventure, filled with tiny hands reaching for yours, endless questions, and the satisfaction of watching a child's eyes light up as they grasp a new concept. It's a job that demands patience, energy, and a whole lot of love, but in return, it fills your heart with an immeasurable sense of purpose. You become a part of their formative years, shaping their minds and nurturing their spirits, and in doing so, they leave an indelible mark on yours.

Hello, my name is Alexis, I go by Lexi. Most of my experience in babysitting is from my 2 younger sisters one is 3 and the other is 4 months old. I have also been known to watch my little cousins. I have a passion for working with children, and I enjoy the quality time of watching a child grow. I have graduated highschool, and I am currently looking for a job.

A little bit about me

Hi my lovelies! Im looking for a child or multiple who needs a babysitter. I am sixteen years old and I have three years of experience with children newborn to ten years old. I also have two years of experience with special needs kids.

I do online school so I have a very flexible schedule and I am looking for something more afternoon or night. I don't have a set rate so we can talk to figure out what works best with both of us.

Cooking and slight cleaning is free of course and I just have a five dollar late fee for every twenty minutes you are late. I can do your home or mine. I am pet friendly and smoke free.

I cant wait to hear from you!
