What drives the price

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$16.66/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.62/hr

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

Hi! I have had nannying jobs with several different families ever since I was 16, I’m now 21 and I still love it! I recently returned home from serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Bulgaria! It was the best experience of my life and it taught me so much. I’m the oldest of 4 so I feel like I’ve been around kids my whole life and I actually love it. I’m moving up to Provo in February of 2026 from Mesa, AZ and I’m looking forward to a new start! I love kids and I love hanging out with them and also helping out all the hardworking parents! I have a nannying job lined up for Thursdays, but I’m still available for another part time nannying job or an occasional babysitter! Let me know if I seem like a good fit for you guys!
