What drives the price
Most Orlando families pay somewhere in the $13–$26/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
Experience
Number of kids
| 1 kid (baseline) | $18.61 |
|---|---|

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.77/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.74/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.88/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:
- I’m a mom to two children, a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
- I have 10 years of babysitting and childcare experience, caring for children ranging from newborns through age 13.
- I hold bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration and Marketing and am currently completing a third bachelor’s degree in Accounting online.
- I’m originally from Alabama, moved to Ohio where my husband is from shortly after we got married, and we’re excited to live in Florida!
- I love being outdoors, hiking, staying active, and planning fun, engaging activities for children.
**One important note: I do bring my children with me when I work. This arrangement has worked extremely well with the families I currently work with in Cincinnati, and I’m looking for a family who is comfortable with this setup.**
