Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.31/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.29/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.91/hr | See live-in rates → |
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.
