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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.86/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.96/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.58/hr

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 rates here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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 Haya! I’ve been working with children for the past 4 years, both through babysitting and at a local summer school program. There, I guided students through arts, STEM, and cooking activities. I supervised groups throughout the day, and helped ensure everything ran smoothly.
I speak 3 languages, which had been a great way to connect with kids from different backgrounds. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and fun. I enjoy planning activities that keep kids engaged, whether it’s being creative, exploring outdoors, or helping with homework.
I am comfortable helping kids get ready in the mornings, guiding routines like bedtime, planning meals, and supporting them throughout the day. Safety is always my top priority.
I look forward to getting to know your family and making your child’s time with me both safe and enjoyable

A little bit about me

Hi everyone! My name is Caitlyn and i'm a 3rd year student at Oregon state. I'd describe myself as an optimistic person who is bubbly and reliable. I am very attentive, and have a passion for working with both children and animals.

When I work with children, my primary goal is to create an enriching environment where they feel heard, valued, and supported. I want to foster their individuality while encouraging confidence and creativity. It's important for me to ensure that each child knows they are important and understood.

In addition to nannying services, I can also help out with light and deep house keeping, grocery runs, and light meal prep.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Emma, and I'm currently a student at OSU. I've worked in childcare since I was 14. I was a camp counselor in high school and spent my first 2 years of college working in daycares. I spent 1 year as an infant teacher, and 1 year as a toddler (1-2 yrs) teacher. I took a year off working in daycare, but have missed working with children since. Attending OSU is also expensive, so I'm looking to make some extra money :)
I love kids of all ages, with a soft spot for babies and toddlers. I would love to help take care of your child(ren) so you can be the best parents you can be.
I can work part time, afternoons on weekdays. I am open to early mornings (pre 9am), evenings and occasional weekends if needed.
I am Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/First Aid Certified, and have certifications in Early Childcare and Infant Sleep Safety from Portland State University.
