What drives the price

Most Hollywood families pay somewhere in the $13–$30/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

More experienced nannys command higher rates. Entry-level (0-2 yrs) average $18.93/hour, while the most experienced (6-10 yrs) charge around $21/hour.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.69/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.66/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.65/hr

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.

Recent reference

"Kristina is someone I would wholeheartedly trust with children. She is patient, dependable, and has such a kind spirit. I’ve seen the way she interacts with kids she’s always attentive, engaging, and makes sure they feel safe and cared for. As a former substitute teacher and now a mom herself, she has both professional and personal experience that shows through in the way she nurtures and guides children. She’s also very responsible and easy to communicate with, which I know is so important for parents. Any family would be lucky to have her as their nanny."
