Full-time, part-time, and live-in part-time nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $22.77/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $22.59/hr | See live-in rates → |
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.

I would love to be a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy being that positive, steady presence kids can count on. I love the energy, the honesty, the imagination kids bring - there's never a dull moment.

Good to meet you! My name is Carina. I have 4 years of professional working experience with children through Sittercity, Bounce You Brooklyn, and the Park Avenue Armory. Through these jobs I’ve gotten to work with children ranging from as little as three years old to 12. Every child I’ve had the opportunity to take care of is very diverse in personality and it’s very exciting to know that I’ve gotten to partake in their growth journeys and or peak their interest in different hobbies as little humans. For reference some of my previous jobs requested light dinner meal prep, after school pickup, drop off and pick up to and from sports events and or dance recitals, play dates etc
