Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $17.79/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $17.30/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.61/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 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! My name is Jennifer, and I’m 24 years old. I have experience working with children, including those with special needs, which has helped me develop strong patience and communication skills—especially when it comes to supporting a child who may be in distress. I’m also an EMT student with completed basic training, CPR, and first aid certification, so safety and care are always my top priorities.
My long-term goal is to open my own daycare that not only provides a safe and nurturing environment for children while their parents are at work, but also focuses on personalized learning. Growing up, I often felt there weren’t enough options for kids who learned differently, and that experience inspired me to give back to my community and help children thrive in every way possible.
⭐️ As a student, part-time sub teacher, and full-time security officer, I have completed multiple background checks, including one for my school, which I can provide as proof of reliability and trustworthiness.

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Lauryn, I am 20 years old and I am college student at Miami dade College. I am CPR and first aid certified, and I have completed the 45-hour DCF training. I also have a reliable car to get back and forth or if you need pick up and drop off for the children that is available(I have never been in any kind of accident). For the past three years I was a preschool teacher having cared for dozens of children from ages 0-5. I loved working as a teacher nurturing and guiding my kids to become their best selves. I feel it is my lifelong purpose to care and give children the opportunity to learn more and have fun while doing it. The reason I chose to be a nanny is because I know how hard I can be sometimes to be parent and some people need help, and I want to be that person to make someone else’s life a little easier.
