Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.73/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.06/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21.41/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.

"We had the absolute joy of having Herlinda as our nanny for over four years, and she is still like family to us. She started caring for our son at 6 months old and stayed until he was 4.5. She also cared for our daughter from infancy to age 2. The only reason we parted ways is because we moved out of the area; otherwise, we would have kept her with us forever.
Herlinda is warm, nurturing, and deeply trustworthy. She cared for our children as if they were her own, and we always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She took them to the park daily and built a wonderful playgroup with other nannies. She also taught our children Spanish, which was such a gift.
As someone who worked from home, I saw firsthand the love, patience, and attention she gave our kids each and every day. She has a special ability to connect with children and make them feel safe, loved, and engaged. We are endlessly grateful we found her and any family would be lucky to have her."
