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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$22.70/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$20.88/hr
Live-inSet by family$23.35/hr

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 currently a student at the University of South Florida studying Studio Art. I’ve been babysitting for 7 years, with most of my experience being with toddlers. I love working with kids and creating fun, engaging activities that let them explore their creativity.
As an art student, I especially enjoy doing art projects and creating with the kids. I love seeing their imaginations come to life and encouraging them to express themselves in their own unique ways.
My favorite part of babysitting is getting to watch kids grow up. It’s so special to see them change over the years and grow into their own individual little people. I really value building relationships with the families I work with and being someone they can trust to care for their children.
