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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$18.80/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.71/hr
Live-inSet by family$18.46/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.

A little bit about me

Hey, I just graduated high school this past spring 2026. I am very driven for work and attention to detail. I am the oldest in my family with 3 younger siblings and have done a lot of babysitting with them, and with younger cousins. I am great with some meal prep, and light cleaning. A typical job doesn't fit with my goals of working with flexibility and more diverse work style. Meaning a routine that is structured but not boring for young kids. I am more than happy to do hands on activities with supplies provided because I don't believe in screens to keep kids in one place, only with quiet time set in the day.
I have a pretty flexible schedule as of right now, but as the end of February rolls around my time comes to be more limited. I have committed to be a Head Coach of a girls lacrosse team from end of February to the end of May. But besides that I am open.

Hello! My name is Estefania, and I’m so excited at the opportunity to work with your family. I have a strong passion for caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can grow and feel supported.

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
