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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$15.60/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.48/hr
Live-inSet by family$15.96/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

I’m a 20 year old high school graduate and love kids. I’m very experienced, super fun, and super reliable. I’ve been experienced and experiencing with watching and taking care of kids since I was 12 to my age now. I’ve watched kids between the ages of 1-5 and under; like toddlers, and babies between the age of 3 months and up and under. Kids love me just as much as I love them. I’m available every other day including nights, and sometimes overnights, also including the weekend. A little more information about me is that I took level 1 and 2 of early childhood development in high school so that also helps with me being able to teach the kids and learn them individually. I also will offer an additional cleaning service if requested.
