Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $18.63/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $17.48/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.38/hr | See live-in rates → |
Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.
Live-in arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. 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
Hi, my name is Love, and I’m a 16-year-old high school student interested in babysitting opportunities. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I really enjoy working with kids. I can help with keeping children entertained, preparing simple meals/snacks, helping with homework, and making sure they stay safe and comfortable. I’m dependable, a good communicator, and willing to work evenings, weekends, or after school. I’m looking forward to gaining more experience and being someone families can trust with their children.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is August, I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in 2021 when I started a babysitting service for low-income families in my community. Through this, I developed strong skills in creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments for children of various ages. I also grew up in a large household where I regularly helped care for my eight siblings!
Professionally, I’ve worked as an Assistant Floater at KinderCare Preschool, supporting classrooms from infants through Pre-K, and as an Assistant Toddler Teacher, where I helped implement lesson plans, encouraged developmental milestones, and maintained a structured, nurturing environment. Currently, I work as a Behavioral Technician, working with children diagnosed with ASD/ADHD to implement individualized behavior intervention plans, track progress, and support children in building communication, social, and life skills.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!! :)

I have several years of experience with my younger siblings, as well as official babysitting experience with various families. I’ve always gravitated towards children, and outside of babysitting I’ve also spent time in early childhood education. I’d love the opportunity to continue my care for little ones and provide any support I can!
