Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.84/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $19/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $20.75/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 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, I’m Lauren! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic professional with over 10 years of experience working with children as an elementary teacher. I’m currently taking a break from teaching and would love to continue doing what I enjoy most—caring for and spending time with kids.
I’m patient, nurturing, and love creating fun, engaging activities while keeping children safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, crafts and outdoor activities. I’m looking forward to meeting a wonderful family and being someone you can trust and rely on!

I am an energetic, patient, nurturer who is passionate about helping facilitate the learning and development of children. I enjoy teaching Capoeira (African-Brazilian martial art) to preschoolers and introductory Spanish. Children help keep me young at heart and often remind me of what is most important in life. I have over a decade of experience working as a nanny, au pair and VPK teacher. My past employers would tell you I have a natural ability to help children feel secure and thrive. One of my strengths is helping children channel their energy in creative and positive ways as well as my adaptability which has been cultivated by years of experience working with all ages.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kendra, and I’m incredibly passionate about working with children and helping families feel supported, safe, and cared for. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education and have hands-on experience with children from birth to age five in both classroom and home settings. I’ve always been drawn to the curiosity, energy, and creativity children bring into the world. From a young age, I’ve had a nurturing personality and naturally stepped into caregiving roles with siblings, family friends, and in professional childcare jobs. Through my education and real-world experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in child development, behavior guidance, and age-appropriate learning. I strive to create a calm, safe, and joyful space where children feel confident and supported. My goal is to be a dependable and loving presence in a child’s life while giving parents peace of mind and reliable care they can trust.
