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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.89/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.84/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.56/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 here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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.

"Clare has watched our four kids since they were little and did a fabulous job. She’s great with kids of all ages, and is an excellent influence on young children. While babysitting she was tasked with helping them with their 4-H projects and assuring they were getting their chores done while also helping them with activities (sports/swimming lessons/working with animals etc.). Clare exceeded our expectations when it came to working with the kids. She always had ways to keep them busy and get them outside to explore and learn new things. Clare’s ability to connect with the kids was incredibly helpful, especially with our youngest who can be a challenge at times. She was great at communicating when there was an issue and would let me know how she handled it and would ask for ideas on how to help/correct behavioral issues. Clare was very dependable and would always communicate ahead of time if she had a scheduling conflict. She has a great work ethic and attitude."
