What drives the price
Most East Hampton families pay somewhere in the $16–$35/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) | $24.17 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$25.17 |
| 3+ kids | ~$26.17+ |
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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $25.24/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $24.99/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 live-in nanny.

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.

Hi!!
My name is Chloe, I’m 18 years old and currently go to Louisiana State Univeristy. My major is International Studies with a focus in Global Diplomacy on a Pre-Law track. I’m from Greenwich, CT, so not too far from city, but I also used to live in New York from the ages of 0-8! I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years now and have experience with new borns through about 8/9 years old! I love to dance and I’ve done my whole life, hoping to continue it through college. I also do a lot of volunteer work with children in elementary schools, and international companies. Furthermore, I was a camp counselor and lifeguard these past 2 summers [phone number hidden]). As much as I love attending LSU, I do miss being on the east coast and cannot wait for summer. With my previous experience, I am hoping to work with one of the many wonderful families looking for a nanny! Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Hi all! I am 19 and I am from sleepy hollow NY. I am a rising sophomore at the university of Arizona. I would say that working with kids takes patience, flexibility, kindness, and understanding. I feel I am very good with kids and of course love working with them. I worked as a camp counselor at Breezemont day camp in Armonk NY. I worked with 3-5 year olds. They always made my days more lively and joyful and always taught me so much about life! I vow to keep your little ones safe while also having the best time!!!
