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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$16.20/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$16.08/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.26/hr

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 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

Hi!! My names Elise. Caring for children has always come naturally to me. There’s something deeply fulfilling about being part of their world — watching them grow, helping them learn, and being someone they can trust and feel safe with. I’m the kind of nanny who gets down on the floor to build LEGO castles, reads the same story for the tenth time with just as much excitement, and takes pride in the small everyday routines that make children feel secure and loved. I believe in calm, consistent care, lots of patience, and treating each child as an individual. This work isn’t just a job to me — it’s something I truly love doing.
