Full-time, part-time, and live-in live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.27/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $19.04/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 live-in nanny.

Tips to find a great live-in nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best live-in nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced live-in 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 live-in 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.

Hi, my name is Lee! I am 24 years old and came from Texas to Orlando. I'm a very fun loving, energetic person who enjoys to talk! I enjoy playing lots of sports such as tennis, volleyball and golf!

A little bit about me
Through experiences, I learned early in life the importance of patience, empathy, organization, and love in a child’s development.
Over the years, I have worked as a nanny and childcare provider in the US and Ecuador mostly for families from the US, which has allowed me to strengthen skills such as communication, emotional support, positive guidance, and daily care for children through different stages of growth. I have a very natural connection with children, and they usually feel comfortable, safe, and happy around me thanks to my warm personality and charisma. I speak Spanish and English, so I am fully accustomed to working in bilingual and multicultural environments. I have also spent time traveling to Europe (Spain: Ibiza, Seville, Barcelona), South America (Peru, Colombia, Argentina), and Panama.
I also love animals and have a wonderful connection with both dogs and cats, caring for pets with the same kindness and respect I give to people.

""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!""
