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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$20.59/hr
Live-inSet by family$21.12/hr

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 part-time nanny.

Tips to find a great part-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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, I'm Mykai! I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I've been working with children for 6 years, caring for ages 6 months to 13 years through nannying, babysitting, swim instruction, and private lessons. As a swim instructor, I'm CPR/AED and lifeguard certified, so safety, especially around water, is something I take seriously. I love keeping kids active and entertained, whether that's swimming, playing outside, going to the park, doing crafts, reading, or finding something fun to do at home.

I'm comfortable with childcare responsibilities, including preparing meals and snacks, bottles, diaper changes, naps, school drop-offs and pickups, homework, and following each family's routine. I'm easygoing and flexible, but I also understand the importance of structure.

I'm in my last year of college working toward my BBA in Computer Information Systems. I'm looking for a family where I can build a genuine relationship with the kids and become someone they feel comfortable relying on.
