Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $26.19/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $23.95/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $25.07/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
As a child caretaker, I bring patience, empathy, and a genuine love for children. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel valued and supported. I'm attentive to their needs, whether it’s offering comfort, engaging them in creative play, or helping with learning activities. I stay calm in challenging situations and handle conflicts with kindness and consistency. Communication is key, so I keep open, honest dialogue with both children and parents. I’m dependable, organized, and always prioritize the well-being of the children in my care. I adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality and developmental stage, helping them grow with confidence. Most of all, I believe in being a positive role model, someone children can trust and look up to. It’s incredibly rewarding to play a part in their growth, and I treat that responsibility with the respect and dedication it deserves.
