Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.37/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.61/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.74/hr | See live-in rates → |
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
Im Lindsay. I am relocating in November to Las Vegas from Arizona. I have been taking care of children since i was 13 years old. I've taken college courses, worked in a behavioral center, babysat, was a live in and live out nanny & have a 23 year old son. I love being around children & like to plan fun activities that they can also learn from. I do not like to have tv on as i perfer doing activities with children. My son did not grow up around a tv, we did crafts, park, games, cooking/baking, outings, museums, library. I had a very hard time trusting my son with very many people. So know your kids will be in safe hands and i am CPR/FIRST AIDE certified, Arizona Fingerprint Card, nice car with a/c, insurance, refrences. If you want to know more send me a message.

A little bit about me
I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with activities, meals, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained.
I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable with the person caring for their children, and I always treat every child with kindness, patience, and respect. I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier while providing your children with reliable and caring supervision.
