Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $18.84/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.44/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.07/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 arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. 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 Emari, and I'm a dedicated childcare provider currently a Lead Infant Teacher at The Goddard School in Las Vegas. I create individualized lesson plans that support children's development while ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and pre-k children in classroom and home settings, including supporting children on the autism spectrum through consistent, nurturing routines.
I love working with kids because they're a sweet reminder of joy, curiosity, and staying connected to your inner child. I'm looking for a stable full-time position where I can build a lasting bond with both the children and the family in a safe, positive home environment.
I began working with children in 2023 and have been consistently in childcare since. In my spare time, I enjoy film study, writing scripts, art, music, walks, and spending time with friends. I'm bubbly, observant, and intuitive, and I approach childcare as a teacher not a babysitter.

A little bit about me
I'm a Caregiver with 4 going on 5 years of working in childcare. Three years at an elementary school, and 2 years as a personal nanny. After working in the schools I realized how much I love helping children, and becoming their big sister in a sense. I'm patient, calm, friendly, and approachable, and feel like I can relate to children of all ages. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules and communicating about their child's day or any issues that arise.
I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports and physical/board games. even educational games and puzzles. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages and am willing to help with meal preparation, housekeeping chores, tutoring, and carpool.
