What drives the price

Most Orlando families pay somewhere in the $13–$27/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 $17.94/hour, while the most experienced (6-10 yrs) charge around $20.92/hour.

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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.98/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.12/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.13/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.

Hello! I'm Glenda, an experienced caregiver, mother, and grandmother in Orlando. I worked in an Early Head Start program caring for toddlers ages 1-3 (feeding, diapers, naps, play-based learning) and cared for children at a school in Puerto Rico. I also help care for two children in my family on the autism spectrum, so I understand routines, patience, and calm transitions. I'm a native Spanish speaker: I speak Spanish with your child all day, and little ones pick it up through play — not a Spanish teacher, just Spanish at home. I also offer senior companionship and pet care; I'm a certified pet groomer and have loved animals my whole life, even nursing a litter of sick puppies back to health. Licensed Florida real estate agent (background-checked), OSHA certified, driver's license, CPR renewal in progress. My English is limited — I communicate best in Spanish and use a translation app for messages. ¡Hola! Si buscas que tu niño escuche y viva el español en casa, aquí estoy.
