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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.47/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.56/hr
Live-inSet by family$18.60/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

Absolutely! Here’s a polished version that sounds warm, professional, and personable for a nanny application:

I have been working in the childcare field for the past two years, with a strong passion for supporting children and helping them reach their full potential. I am currently a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), specializing in working with neurodivergent children between the ages of 3 and 10.

I recently graduated with my Master’s degree, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and individualized care. I would describe myself as caring, patient, and dependable. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel supported, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Cesia Aguilar Delcid. I am 18 years old and have a lot of experience taking care of children, as I have often been responsible for watching younger family members whenever needed. Although I have not been professionally paid for babysitting before, I have years of hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages.

I am very patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with children. I can also help with cleaning, cooking, and keeping the home organized while caring for your kids. I currently have a part-time job, but I rarely get many hours, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for babysitting.

I will also be attending Savannah College of Art and Design this fall to study graphic design. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I would love the opportunity to help care for your children.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is August, I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in 2021 when I started a babysitting service for low-income families in my community. Through this, I developed strong skills in creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments for children of various ages. I also grew up in a large household where I regularly helped care for my eight siblings!

Professionally, I’ve worked as an Assistant Floater at KinderCare Preschool, supporting classrooms from infants through Pre-K, and as an Assistant Toddler Teacher, where I helped implement lesson plans, encouraged developmental milestones, and maintained a structured, nurturing environment. Currently, I work as a Behavioral Technician, working with children diagnosed with ASD/ADHD to implement individualized behavior intervention plans, track progress, and support children in building communication, social, and life skills.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!! :)
