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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$17/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.63/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.47/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

I am a 28 year old woman and my dog Gus is the love of my life. I am very creative and crafty so I usually have at least 2 projects I’m working on. Right now I’m building a dollhouse and creating a resin wall art canvas. I love to read and play with my dog. I was working on getting a degree in teaching but stopped due to health issues, that I finally beat last year after a decade! Although I don’t have strictly professional experience in child care I am the oldest child and only girl with 3 younger brothers and grew up watching them and neighbors children. I worked at Starbucks for 5 1/2 years and mostly spent my time training new baristas which has taught me how to teach to different learning styles. I also learned how to diffuse situations with both adults and children alike. I have a complete open schedule and am very flexible. I love children and being around kids and helping them learn and explore the great things this world has to offer.

A little bit about me

I am a 19 year old University of Utah student! I am an oldest sibling and cousin and have loved my time spent taking care of and hanging out with my little siblings and cousins. Since I was small I always offered to be with them and babysit whenever I could be helpful to my aunts, uncles, and parents. I play guitar and piano, and I also played tennis all through high school. I love getting outside through hiking, snowboarding, and any other way I can. I'm very detail oriented, patient, and always open minded to constructive feedback. I've always been very academically forward, and I love to help my little sister with her homework. I'm very open to housework, cooking, and anything else I can do to help you and your family.
