Full-time, part-time, and live-in part-time nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.50/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.73/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.92/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 arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. The trade-off is space — you'll need a private bedroom and ideally a separate bathroom for the part-time nanny.

Tips to find a great part-time nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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.

Recent reference
"Jay Johnson was employed as in-home respite care to my child who is Autistic and has ADHD. At the time, my child was minimally verbal communicating, speaking via an AAC device.
Ms. Johnson actively engaged in pretend play with my child, drawing and painting during craft time. She created obstacle course stations in our backyard so my child could enjoy being outside while practicing motor development skills.
Ms. Johnson also assisted my child when using the restroom.
Ms. Johnson was so patient, kind and caring with my child. They sat and ate every snack and lunch together. It can be challenging to find a person who genuinely wants to come work with a child who (was) non-verbal. My child would squeal to see Ms. Johnson, always run to give her a hug.
I am happy to recommend Ms. Johnson for any one-to-one or nanny position. We slowly decreased respite care hours as our therapy hours increased during the week, eventually leading to weekend support, approximately eight hour shifts."

Hello! My name Is Gabrielle and I am a 21 year old political science major currently completing my undergrad degree at UNF. I have 3 years of childcare experience, primarily with children from the ages of 11 months to 3 years old. I also have experience as a swim teacher from the ages of 10 months through middle school. I’m caring, patient, dependable, and love creating a fun and nurturing environment for children to explore, grow, and develop in. I enjoy activities such as reading, drawing, arts & crafts, walks, bike-rides, and many more age appropriate activities. I am comfortable and have experience with meal prep/ snacks, diapers changes, bath and bed routines, and potty training. I am also happy and more than willing to assist with household tasks such as children’s laundry, dishes, cleaning up after activities and meals, organizing children’s toys, clothing, shoes, and keeping the overall home tidy. I would love to become a reliable and trusted nanny to your family!
