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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.21/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.19/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.17/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

Hi! My name is Courtney, and I'm a 19-year-old from Florida currently transitioning out of the military for medical reasons. I'm planning to relocate to Henderson, Nevada, and I'm excited to find a nanny position caring for children from newborns to 9 years old.

I hold First Aid and CPR certifications, as well as an active NREMT certification, so your child's safety is always my top priority. I'm also in the process of getting my driver's license to make transportation even more convenient.

I've always had a genuine love for children, and growing up with many siblings has given me years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages. I'm patient, dependable, nurturing, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel cared for. I would be honored to become a trusted part of your family's support system.

A little bit about me

Firstly, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bronwyn Sanders.

It is a privilege, a joy and an honor to be chosen by families to lovingly care for their precious babies and children.

To date, I have been blessed to be a Nanny for 9 incredibly beautiful babies and children, from ages six weeks to 5 years.

My ethos as a nanny: I believe in supporting the growth and development of each uniquely wonderful baby or child. And equally important is to provide a safe, nurturing, fun environment. An environment that fosters creativity, curiosity and a love for lifelong learning.

I am very nurturing, patient, kind, and caring. Each day my focus is to ensure the babies and children, in my care, are loved, nurtured and cherished. We have fun with lots of laughter, educational activities, play time - indoors and outdoors, as well as reading and quiet time.

Also, supporting parents by providing meal prep, laundry and housework assistance.
