What drives the price
Most West Bronx families pay somewhere in the $16–$30/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
01
Experience
Experience is one of the biggest levers on a nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $21.61 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$22.61 |
| 3+ kids | ~$23.61+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $23.26/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.55/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $22.56/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
I have a strong background in caregiving and child support, with experience ranging from working as a babysitter to my current role as a Certified Nursing Assistant. In my babysitting experience, I cared for children from infancy to early school age, supporting their daily routines, hygiene, developmental needs, and encouraging age-appropriate learning and play. I always focused on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment while keeping open communication with parents to build trust and consistency. Alongside that, my CNA externship strengthened my skills in providing compassionate, hands-on care, following safety protocols, and offering both emotional and physical support — which taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of tailoring care to each individual’s needs. Overall, I’d describe myself as caring, reliable, and highly attentive, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring those qualities into a nanny role.
