Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $16.76/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $16.43/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $16.76/hr | See live-in rates → |
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 am the oldest in all my family, I have sisters who are 10 and 12 years younger as well as cousins who are 20 years younger. I've been around and babysit siblings all my life. If off times when there are laying down I would clean or prepare food for them. I believe in teaching life skills to the little ones so we can make games out of clean ups, make health meals fun(prefer to have a list of diet preferences and allergens). I prefer kids to learn grow and gain life essential activities. I love teaching people how to cope when upset, sad, angry, anxious or just purely overwhelmed. I value kids learning more that just television in there life experience as I myself would prefer to learn a new skill rather than continuously watch videos and movies. I'm all for showing people that movies and television can be a good way to relax but also teach them it's not the only way. When I work, I myself do not like being on my phone unless urgent call permits.
I love to help others grow!

A little bit about me
Hi I'm Shyianna 20 years old I've been taking care of children since the age of 8 came from a big family but have been a nanny for this family friend for almost 2 years, I really love to spend time with them and watch them become their own little humans it melts my heart. We do arts and crafts go on walks play outside(when the weather is nice) I love having them do activities that motivate them and allows them to express themselves. Went to school for a few months for early childhood, I do intend to go back but money is short so trying to make do with what I have. I'd really love to get to know you and your family.
