| 2 kids | ~$22.12 |
| 3+ kids | ~$23.12+ |

Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

Full-time, part-time, and live-in full-time nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.99/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21.88/hr | See live-in rates → |
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 full-time nanny.

Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-time 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 full-time 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
Dear Family,
My name is Rebeca Pazmino. I am a caring, responsible nanny with four years of childcare experience. I have cared for children of different ages and am comfortable supervising multiple children at once.
In my most recent position, I cared for five children, including twins. I prepared meals, helped with baths and daily routines, organized their spaces, and kept them safe and engaged. I also traveled with the family during vacations to provide childcare. This experience taught me to follow kosher food and household guidelines and to respect each family's traditions and parenting preferences.
I am patient, dependable, organized, and attentive. I speak native Spanish and conversational English, and I have reliable transportation. I would love to learn more about your family and how I can help.
Thank you all.
Warmly,
Rebeca Pazmino
