What drives the price
Most Jacksonville families pay somewhere in the $13–$28/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
01
Experience
Experience is one of the biggest levers on a live-in nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $17.38 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$18.38 |
| 3+ kids | ~$19.38+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |
| Last-minute | +$3–5/hr |
Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |

Tips to find a great live-in nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best live-in nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced live-in 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 live-in 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
Hello! My name Is Gabrielle and I am a 21 year old political science major currently completing my undergrad degree at UNF. I have 3 years of childcare experience, primarily with children from the ages of 11 months to 3 years old. I also have experience as a swim teacher from the ages of 10 months through middle school. I’m caring, patient, dependable, and love creating a fun and nurturing environment for children to explore, grow, and develop in. I enjoy activities such as reading, drawing, arts & crafts, walks, bike-rides, and many more age appropriate activities. I am comfortable and have experience with meal prep/ snacks, diapers changes, bath and bed routines, and potty training. I am also happy and more than willing to assist with household tasks such as children’s laundry, dishes, cleaning up after activities and meals, organizing children’s toys, clothing, shoes, and keeping the overall home tidy. I would love to become a reliable and trusted nanny to your family!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Thai. Pronounced Ty.
I am 22 years old. I am a very artistic and creative person. I enjoy spending time with children of all ages. I could never grow bored or tired or impatient. I've always bonded with children very easily and find comfort spending time with such energetic and bright personalities.
My history with child care started when I was ten years old having to help care for two infants when my mom became a single mom. Eventually, I started caring for four siblings, all three years a part starting with the twins. My mom worked three jobs which caused her to not be home much.
I did everything from cooking, homework help, housework, errands, and any activity I could think of to keep them entertained. I even dealt with puberty. I created morning and night routines and afternoon activities catered to each child as they were all different.
This taught me how to be creative, to be organized, to be quick on my feet, and to be responsible from an early age.
