What drives the price

Most Orlando families pay somewhere in the $13–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

More experienced nannys command higher rates. Entry-level (0-2 yrs) average $17.44/hour, while the most experienced (6-10 yrs) charge around $20.59/hour.

Hours & schedule

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

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.31/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.29/hr
Live-inSet by family$18.91/hr

Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.

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 nanny.

Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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, my name is Jennifer Laudano I am a former teacher and have taught grades PreK-5th including ESE. I have also worked at Primrose Preschool from infant room to after school program. I absolutely love teaching and caring for children. I feel each child is unique and love finding out their strengths and interests to help them grow. I enjoy not just supervising but hopefully engaging in meaningful play or activities. If parents request I can work on their child's social emotional, communication, and or basic academic skills. I am available full-time until the new school year August 10th and have reliable transportation. I'm open to lighthouse work and meal prep even grocery shopping if that would assist the family. I adore pets and also love doing simple crafts and art projects. I do have a minor knee issue that would prevent me from fast running or perhaps taking children to a water park but regular playground and activities are fine. 😃 Thanks for your consideration and time.
