What drives the price

Most Vero Beach families pay somewhere in the $13–$30/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

More experienced nannys command higher rates. Entry-level (0-2 yrs) average $18.05/hour, while the most experienced (6-10 yrs) charge around $20.73/hour.
Avg hourly rate by years of experience

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$20.07/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.79/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.06/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'm a former elementary school teacher with 4 years of teaching experience and 3 years as a nanny. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow.

I'm patient, dependable, and enjoy planning age-appropriate activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and learning through everyday experiences. My teaching background helps me support children's development while making each day engaging and enjoyable.

I also have a baby daughter who would be with me while I work. She's happy and easygoing, and I love giving little ones the chance to learn and socialize together.

I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I strive to treat every child with the same patience, kindness, and care I'd want for my own. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m an adult college student with a professional background in hospitality and event coordination. I have experience caring for children from infancy through the toddler years, including my nieces and nephew. I’ve always been very comfortable with babies and children. I raised a stepson from age nine and had a special needs stepdaughter. I'm also currently caring for two wonderful children, ages 2 and 4 1/2, and it's reminded me how much I enjoy this stage of childhood.
I’m dependable, patient, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy helping others feel safe and cared for. My work background has taught me how to multitask, communicate well, and stay organized in busy environments.
I’m currently looking for a weekday position that fits well with my schedule, and I would love the opportunity to support a family that values reliability, kindness, and attentive care. I’m also current on my Tdap/whooping cough vaccine.

"Linda has been such a wonderful addition to our family over the past few months. From the day she started, she immediately bonded with our two children (4.5 and 2). From trips to the library to baking at the house, she has no trouble keeping the kids entertained and engaged all day. Linda is reliable, a great communicator and is extremely open to feedback. She consistently goes above and beyond, leaving our children’s bedrooms and playroom cleaner than when she arrived. We’ve been so fortunate for the time we’ve had with her and highly recommend her to any family!"

Hi my name is Jackeline! I enjoy working with kids & helping them navigate the world around us. I grew up in a not so fun environment and it has pushed me to love kids even more because I think they deserve the childhood that I never got. Children are innocent and deserve the world. I will do everything in my power to not only protect them and keep them safe but give them a friend. A friend they can rely on for help, comfort and stability. I also know that it’s not all rainbows and fun & education is important so I try to keep up with it and incorporate it into our fun. I love kids & hope you’ll give me a chance!

A little bit about me

Hello families! I am more recently a Vero Beach resident, having moved with my own family to sunny Florida from Pennsylvania. My two daughters are now College and High School age. So, I have flexibility during weekdays to lend a hand with your children. I love the chance to have fun, be an active and compassionate caregiver, exposing younger children to learning opportunities all around us, in our community.
I have, and enjoyed, previous experiences aiding in Pre-school enrichment programs and as a lunch/recess aid at the elementary school in my previous town.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, in addition to dance fitness certifications. So, again being safely active, having fun with art, athletics, story time, and especially music, are passions I would love to share.
Being respectful and understanding of your established rules and routines is of great importance.
*Please be aware, while I do not have fear or dislike of pets, I am however, allergic to most of our furry friends.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kübra. I’m 29 years old. I’ve been working as a nanny since I was 18, starting during my university years to earn extra income. After graduating, I came to the U.S. as an au pair and worked with host families for two years.

During that time, I had the opportunity to care for newborns, toddlers, and children between the ages of 4 and 10. I organized both indoor and outdoor activities, prepared meals for the kids, helped families with light housekeeping, and did the children’s laundry.

I prefer to work with a family on a regular basis, as building a stable routine with the children is important to me. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—not just as a job, but as something that brings me joy.

In addition to my childcare experience, I hold a degree in engineering. I speak both English and Turkish. I currently live in Vero Beach with my boyfriend.

If you’re interested, I’d be happy to hear from you!

"We hired Reece to take care of our 3.5 month old while we were working in Jacksonville for the weekend, at the hotel we were staying at. We have a nanny at home so it was a little scary to hire someone brand new to watch our baby but she made us feel so comfortable, Facetiming us beforehand to get to know eachother. Instantly when she arrived, our baby smiled huge at her and was excited to play with her. He had a really hard weekend but she was so sweet to him, and took great care of him. I was also nervous because we put a lot of trust in her to show up when she said she would (these days that can unfortunately be uncommon) and we were working so really needed her. She was on time, worked well with our schedule nuances and just overall was amazing to work with. I highly recommend her - reach out if you want to talk further !"
