Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.86/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.65/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $20.34/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 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 Oshlianna. I was born in Wisconsin, but raised here in Texas. I’m 28 years old and I have almost 4 years of childcare experience. I have a special love for working with infants and helping little ones grow, learn, and reach their milestones. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their little ones in someone else’s care.
I’m a caring, patient, and nurturing person who enjoys creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for children. I love supporting their development, following their routines, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I know that every child is unique, and I believe in giving each child the love, attention, and patience they deserve.
I would love the opportunity to work with a family where I can make a positive difference and provide loving, dependable care for their little one!

A little bit about me
My name is jociela stone, Jocie for short!! Im 18, and I have about 6 years of experience with babysitting, especially toddlers and month olds, and about a year of nannying specifically, and also a bit of homeschooling experience. I am first aid, CPR, and AED certified. I also have experience with kids with disabilities too, specifically with Down syndrome. I’m slightly experienced with inserting medicine via an insulfon tube, inserting medicine through syringe and other medicines via a pill or in food, but I’m not *highly* experienced in this area. Since I’m experienced with children who are disabled, I know some sign language, so if youre wanting your kiddos to learn some sign I’m up for it! Im super used to no-electronic kids and playing with them 24/7, thanks to also having a no-electronic family too when I was younger up until now a little too.
A little more personal info: I’m a Christian who’s super into violin and writing books! (I'm writing 3 at the moment ;)

Hello, my name is Ms. Tammy R Smith
I am blessed with four children which are all grown and I’m very proud of each last one of them. I am a grandmother of 10+ wonderful grandchildren. I am an empty Nester I just relocated from Indianapolis Indiana. Now I’m here in Austin, Texas ready to start a new journey in my life. I have had my own home daycare’s. I have worked in plenty of childcare facilities. I am still in nurture. I do truly miss my family with all my heart, but I do want them to know there’s more to life than just Indianapolis Indiana. With my first two children, I was a stay stay at home. Mom and I ran my own daycare this is at the time when you can have at least five children in their home. I enjoy that with all my heart being able to help other mothers or parents with affordable safe daycare that they needed. I know as parents is very hard to leave your little ones. I feel that now, but I do want you all to know that I will care for your family just like they were my own💐

My name is Steph, I am a married, 37 year old mother of 4! Their ages are 10,11,16, and 18.
I’ve decided to get back out there in the world and work, so nannying felt like the perfect fit for me. I have an awesome relationship with all of my kiddos and I would love to lend a hand to a family who’s looking for an active, caring, knowledgeable, hands on and patient person to assist in whatever is needed with children of all ages, and am open and willing to help with any other necessary tasks.
