What drives the price

Most Humble families pay somewhere in the $9–$22/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

Experience is one of the biggest levers on a nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

Number of kids

One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
Hourly rate by number of kids
1 kid (baseline)$15.81
2 kids~$16.81
3+ kids~$17.81+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)
Evening/weekend+$2–4/hr
Last-minute+$3–5/hr

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$17.10/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.42/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.60/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 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 hope you're doing well! My name is Shadai, and I’m so excited to be joining your family as your new nanny. I truly love working with kids and look forward to getting to know your child/children while providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them.
A little about me: I was born and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands and moved to a few different states. I have had amazing experiences with kids in the past from 0months - 13 years old. One of the main things that I can say that makes me happy when caring for kids is making sure they are safe, keeping up with their daily routines/ structure, and engaging with them to make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to support your family’s needs and ensure that your child/ children feels happy, engaged, and well cared for.
Please let me know if there are any specific routines or expectations you'd like me to focus on. I’m eager to make this a smooth and positive transition for everyone. Looking forward to meeting you all!
