What drives the price

Experience
Number of kids
| 1 kid (baseline) | $16.14 |

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $17.28/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $15.79/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.10/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 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
I’m someone who truly enjoys engaging with kids—whether that’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply making everyday moments fun and meaningful. I’m responsible, attentive, and bring a positive, structured energy into the home through my background in the military.
I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which can be a great benefit for communication or helping children learn a second language. I enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals, making sure your children are well cared for in every way.
I would love the chance to learn more about your family’s needs and see how I can be a great fit. Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to connecting with you!
Warmly,
Estefania
