Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $24.05/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $22.81/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $23.14/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
I am dedicated, patient, and enthusiastic about working with children, and I take pride in creating meaningful relationships with both students and their families. Watching children learn, grow, and reach new milestones is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
I am currently seeking a part-time or full-time position where I can continue making a positive impact in the lives of young learners. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, and being near the ocean.

A little bit about me
The kids call me Julie. I’m a passionate and experienced teacher/nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages from newborns to teenagers. I began as a middle school English teacher in Thailand and later moved to the U.S., working with infants, toddlers, and older kids.
I’m reliable, warm, and deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. I’m CPR certified, pet-friendly (I have two dogs!), and love outdoor play, reading, and supporting children’s development. I build strong connections with both kids and parents and adapt easily to each family’s routine. I also have excellent references available upon request.
Looking forward to connecting with a loving family!

A little bit about me
I am thrilled about this opportunity and would love to tell you a bit about me.
I’ve worked with the Knightsbridge nanny agency, where I even had the pleasure of caring for one of the recruiter’s families. I currently work part time with a private family through Hudson Staffing agency.
I’ve also worked as a teacher’s aid and tutor at Palms Spring North Elementary, so I’m comfortable with aiding in children’s development/learning.
I’d love to discuss more about how I can make your life easier and keep your kids well taken care of.
Thank you,
Emily
