What drives the price

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$24.05/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$22.81/hr
Live-inSet by family$23.14/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 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 an experienced early childhood educator with a passion for helping young children learn and grow. In 2024, I worked at Centner Child Care with children ages 2–3, where I focused on creating a nurturing, engaging, and supportive learning environment. For the past two years, I have been teaching Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten, helping students build confidence, develop foundational skills, and prepare for future academic success.
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.

Hi!

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’m 56 and took early retirement after 29 years at a Fortune 500 company. I’m a proud single mom who raised my son, now 26, completely on my own — no support, just determination and love. I’ve always been hands-on and active, especially when it comes to keeping kids busy and entertained. Cooking is a passion of mine, so I’m happy to help with meal prepping, and I don’t mind pitching in with light housekeeping. For me, it’s about creating a warm, engaging environment where everyone feels cared for.

A little bit about me

Hello!

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

Good morning!!! My name is Belén, from Argentina. I am looking for a job as a nanny in the United States because I love children and I have experience for 16 years since they are primary and initial level teachers and I also prepared to work with children with special needs. I speak Spanish and I have an intermediate level of English (I continue studying with a teacher). I like to take care of them with a lot of responsibility, patience, respect and at the same time teach them for their education. I hope to be able to find a nice family that will give me the opportunity and work as a team. Thank you for the trust and I hope to be able to have interviews 🙂
