What drives the price
Most New Orleans families pay somewhere in the $7–$25/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 part-time nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02

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
This August I will be relocating to New Orleans! I have my Bachelor’s in Child and Adolescent Development from San Jose State University. For the past four years, I have worked in childcare for various age groups ranging from infants to preschool age. I am looking for something flexible with my school schedule, as I will be attending graduate school during the night. I love teaching children to be independent, explore what sparks their curiosity and instill confidence!

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Olivia, and I have over 8 years of experience babysitting and nannying children in Baton Rouge and Washington, D.C. Currently seeking a live in position in New Orleans.
I believe technology can be a great learning tool when used intentionally, but I also prioritize hands-on activities and minimal screen time. I love doing crafts, painting, science experiments, reading, and creative writing with kids. For two years, I taught spoken word poetry through Big Buddy, so I'm especially passionate about helping children build confidence through writing and self-expression.
I'm comfortable with tutoring, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and helping maintain routines. I studied Communications at LSU and have worked in communications and fundraising, including in Washington, D.C. and most recently with a New Orleans museum.
While I don't currently drive, I'm reliable and regularly use rideshare services and public transportation. I also have a playful, quiet Mini Poodle!

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Gabrielle, and I have a genuine love for working with children and a deep background in education and child development. I hold two Master's degrees; one in Clinical Psychology and one in Instructional Design & Technology. Additionally I've spent years working directly with children as a K–2 ESL teacher, classroom coordinator, and camp counselor. I know how to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where kids feel seen, supported, and excited to learn.
Whether it's helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained with activities, or simply being a calm and caring presence during the day, I bring patience, structure, and a lot of warmth to every interaction. I genuinely enjoy children at every stage and believe that showing up consistently and joyfully makes a real difference in a child's day.

A little bit about me
I am musician, composer and music teacher - nanny as I like to communicate with children. I like to spend time with them as the way how children see the world is really an inspiration for me - it shows the life from different, more simple perspective. Like that I feel more alive and more fresh.
I am simple in spirit, very connected to nature and healthy lifestyle. I am very flexible and loving person. Like to include creative activities like music, crafts, painting during time spent with children. I am very sensible so I do feel each person so it really helps in communication and figuring out the next activities, steps so that everyone is satisfied. I also like to let the children express themselves, to not put too much frame on them, provide care in tender and harmonious way that fits to the children, that allows them still to be on their flow, that I see very important. I am vegan.
