Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $17.14/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $16.90/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.42/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 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
I’m Vaishali, and I’ve been working with children for about [3-6 years. I really enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel cared for in a safe, happy environment. I’ve worked with children from 0-6 years, and I’m comfortable with routines, meals, light cleaning, and bedtime care and families describe me as patient, dependable, and caring. I’d love to bring that same energy to your family!

A little bit about me
I have experience with cooking, cleaning, and childcare. I used to go with my mom to her nanny jobs, where I helped care for and play with the children. I also babysit my cousin who has cerebral palsy, so I’m comfortable working with children who have special needs and understand how to be patient and supportive.
People often describe me as kind, easy to connect with, and very responsible. I’m also creative—I do nails, make jewelry, and I have a good eye for interior design. I enjoy bringing fun, style, and care into everything I do.
I’m reliable, hardworking, and excited for any opportunity to help a family during my time in Florida.
