Full-time, part-time, and live-in part-time nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $25.77/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $24.11/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $23.60/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.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Nicole, and I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for my younger cousins and worked at a summer camp through the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) in 2022, where I supervised and engaged children in fun, age-appropriate activities while helping create a safe and positive environment. I also work as a certified lifeguard, so I'm CPR and First Aid certified and experienced in keeping children safe while making sure they have fun. I enjoy planning activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play that encourage learning and creativity. I currently attend a Medical Assistant program in the mornings starting august 11th from 8am-1pm , so I'm available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that gives parents peace of mind and helps children feel safe, happy, and supported. I look forward to meeting your family!

hi families! I am a 22 year old a recent graduate from DBU in Dallas, Tx! I am looking for a nanny position in NYC but I have worked with children of all ages and all kinds from summer camps to babysitting to working in the childcare room at my home country club! Some things about me is that I love bringing a fun and entertaining time but I also understand some kids need quiet or relaxing moments so I would love to cater to them and their needs before meeting mine! I also love arts and crafts as well as sports- I grew up playing golf, volleyball, and softball so if your kids like sports I would love to help out with that as well. Like I mentioned I am currently in Dallas but hoping to find a good fit position!

A little bit about me
I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education & child development from Michigan State University. During my time in college I developed a passion for partnering with families and sharing my knowledge and best practices to help their child thrive. I am a very family oriented person, and I love the opportunity to come alongside and use my giftings to support families (because it really does take a village).
I have worked remote corporate jobs for the past six years. Earlier this year, I was laid off. I worked as a nanny for a infant in my neighborhood and it reignited the passion I had for this work in college. But the family only needed me temporarily until their child started daycare.
I visited New York City for the first time earlier this year and fell in love with the city. My lease is up at the end of September, and I feel I have the unique opportunity to do something I love again and live in such a unique place.

Hello!
I’m Mila and I’ve worked in childcare for a collective 7+ years. I’ve worked with children and families at nearly every stage of my life and education; including while I was earning my Master’s degree from The New School. I am well traveled (6 countries and 23 states) and have lived in Mexico for 3 years and South Africa for 1 year. I am a voice actor. I have experience working with families with 1-2 children between the ages of 5 months-10 years old. I have been an elementary school teacher for grades 1-4 and a middle school Track & Field Coach for grades 5-8. I also work with an educational consulting business and curriculum project that holds interactive workshops and field days for children and families. My approach to childcare is rooted in my belief that mutual respect, curious play and empathy modeling not only offer social emotional learning opportunities with children but also inspires a community mindset and personal conviction when goal setting.

A little bit about me
I'm a writer and lifelong lover of the arts. I'm also the oldest of four siblings by a lot (we're talking 9, 17, and 22 years apart). I basically helped raise my siblings from birth, so caring for children has been woven into my life since I was a kid myself. I also have five nieces and nephews, currently 6 to 13. With kids, I show up with storytelling, imaginative play, and arts projects — and I genuinely love every loud, curious, wonder-filled second of it.
