What drives the price

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.57/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.10/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 full-time nanny.

Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-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 full-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, my name is Jennifer Laudano I am a former teacher and have taught grades PreK-5th including ESE. I have also worked at Primrose Preschool from infant room to after school program. I absolutely love teaching and caring for children. I feel each child is unique and love finding out their strengths and interests to help them grow. I enjoy not just supervising but hopefully engaging in meaningful play or activities. If parents request I can work on their child's social emotional, communication, and or basic academic skills. I am available full-time until the new school year August 10th and have reliable transportation. I'm open to lighthouse work and meal prep even grocery shopping if that would assist the family. I adore pets and also love doing simple crafts and art projects. I do have a minor knee issue that would prevent me from fast running or perhaps taking children to a water park but regular playground and activities are fine. 😃 Thanks for your consideration and time.

""Lilly has been an amazing help to our family and cared for our three children from 6 weeks old to 8 years old as needed for many years. She is incredibly patient, kind, dependable, and attentive to detail. She always made our children feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while still keeping structure and consistency in the home. She’s great at diffusing conflicts calmly and respectfully, and she knows how to make childcare both fun and organized. She would even prepare meals exactly how each child liked them, which showed how much she genuinely paid attention to their individual needs and routines. She follows household rules well, communicates clearly, and works best in long-term, consistent environments where she can truly build trust with both parents and children. Any family would be lucky to have her!""
