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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$12.21/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$12.12/hr
Live-inSet by family$11.86/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 name is Emma Eubanks, and I am twenty years old. My very first job was nannying a 6-month-old and a two-year-old. We would go grocery shopping together or go on walks. I still watch these kids on occasion, not because the mom or dad needed me, but because those are my babies and I fell in love with them. I come from a small town, so I know how to find fun things to do when nothing is around. I am outgoing, determined, happy-go-lucky, and responsible. I will meal-prep and let the kids help and I will also go over homework or flashcards to help them grow. I will love your babies just like you do.
