Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.17/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $19.75/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $19.68/hr | See live-in rates → |
Part-time and full-time hourly rates are similar here — short schedules don't always command a premium when full-time openings are easy to fill.
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 nanny.

Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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
I have several years of experience working with children in both home and school settings. As an in-home Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I provided one-on-one support to children with special needs, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills in a safe and supportive environment. As a school paraprofessional, I worked alongside teachers to support students academically and behaviorally while helping maintain a positive classroom. I also worked as a party host at Kids Empire, leading activities, ensuring children's safety, and creating fun experiences for families. Throughout these roles, I also handled deep cleaning, organizing, restocking supplies, meal preparation, and maintaining clean, welcoming spaces. I'm patient, dependable, organized, and passionate about providing quality care.

A little bit about me
Hi my names Alexa. I been a nanny since 2013 for several single moms who’ve lived a more entrepreneurial lifestyle along with presently being a nanny for a high profile client when needed. I love helping where help is needed. Keeping your home in house-hold order, keeping your child or children on a schedule, and just being able to allow you as a parent to breathe knowing your child is in great hands. And without overstepping via boundaries if I do see areas that a child may be out of line on if allowed I do step in to gently course correct while focusing on a game plan with mom or dad or both to tackle an issue that doesn’t need to evolve into extensive habits that a parent may not have time for. I just like to make things easier for the parents with everything they already have to deal with on a day to day. Life is rough sometimes and I just enjoy being able to help take that load off a parent’s shoulders.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Gwyneth, and I’d love the opportunity to work with your family!
I have around 8 to 9 years of experience working with children, starting at my mom’s daycare. I’ve worked as a private nanny and nursery caregiver, caring for children from infants to 12 years old. I also currently work as a behavior technician, supporting children on the autism spectrum.
I’ve always had a love for children, even from a young age. Growing up around my mom caring for little ones, I think that love naturally rubbed off on me. I’m a lover at heart, and caring for others is something that comes naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy what I do and love getting to know each child’s unique little personality as they grow and learn.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, am a nonsmoker, and love animals, including dogs and cats. References are available upon request.
I look forward to hearing from you!
