Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $15.39/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $14.80/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $15.35/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’ve worked with kids through my church nursery, where I help take care of them, play with them, and make sure they’re safe while their parents are in service. I also volunteered at a community softball event where I spent time with kids, helped with activities, and made sure everyone had a good time. I recently completed a child safety class, which taught me more about keeping children safe and creating a positive environment. I really enjoy being around kids, and I’d describe myself as patient, caring, reliable, and someone who loves making children feel comfortable and have fun.
