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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$18.36/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.21/hr
Live-inSet by family$17.30/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 Avrie Self, and I’m 20 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of children. I have five siblings, and throughout my life, I’ve had a lot of experience helping care for them. I’m comfortable cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, and making sure children feel safe, loved, and cared for.

I have my own car and a valid driver’s license. Becoming a nanny has always been something I’ve wanted to do because I genuinely enjoy working with children. Although I’m not sure when I want children of my own, I would love the opportunity to care for someone else’s children and treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

This is a job I’ve always dreamed of having, and I would love the opportunity to make a positive difference in a family’s life. I’m also willing to obtain certifications, such as CPR and first aid, if needed, because I want families to feel comfortable and confident knowing their children are in good hands

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ajaune Williams. I’m a mother of four children and being a mother has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children at different stages of development. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a school bus driver transporting both general education and special-needs students. I’m also a Sunday School teacher at my church for about a year now. These experiences has taught me the importance of patience, safety, communication, and meeting children where they are. I don’t have any experience working as a professional nanny, but I’m excited about the opportunity to bring the experience I already have as a mother and educator into a nanny role. I’m open to learning new things, following your family’s routines and expectations, and becoming a dependable extension of your support system. I want to be someone who contributes positively to your child’s development by providing encouragement, support and a good attitude daily! I hope we could be a match!
