Full-time, part-time, and live-in full-time nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.75/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21.52/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.

I am a 12 years of experience caring for children. I spend nearly 6 years with my first family and 6 years with my actual family. Caring for children 3 months old to 7 years old. Always taking care of the needs of children's. I think my best quality as a sitter is keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Providing a safe, loving, and positive environment. I am responsible for preparing meals, helping with daily routines. I also understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, especially with meals, naps, bedtime, and personal hygiene.

"I am very happy to recommend Kirenia, who worked with our family for approximately six years.
During that time, she became an incredibly important part of our family. She took wonderful care of my son and was consistently loving, attentive, dependable, and trustworthy. I always felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care.
Beyond caring for my son, she was also tremendously helpful around our home and was always willing to step in wherever needed. She was responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about our family’s well-being.
What stands out most, however, is the relationship she developed with my son. She truly loved and cared for him, and that was evident in the way she treated him every day. Over the years, she became much more than simply an employee to us, she became someone we trusted deeply and considered part of our family.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be extremely fortunate to have her caring for their children and home."
