Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.94/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.22/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $20.74/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
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!
