What drives the price
Most Flushing families pay somewhere in the $16–$35/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) | $23.89 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$24.89 |
| 3+ kids | ~$25.89+ |
Hours & schedule
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $25.26/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $23.14/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $24.63/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 have experience working in preschools and daycares, and I’ve also been a mom myself for the past 9 years. Being a mother has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, communication, and most importantly how every child has their own personality, needs, and way of doing things.
I believe parents want a sitter they can truly trust and feel comfortable leaving their children with, while kids want someone who is fun, caring, and actually enjoys spending time with them. I’m naturally nurturing, kind, patient, and responsible, but I also love getting down on a child’s level, playing, being silly, and making sure they have a good time.
I reside in Forrest hills with my 9 year old son, I have a valid drivers license and a car.
