Use this guide to compare full-time, part-time, short-term, overnight, and live-in nanny options through America's #1 trusted nanny platform. Our model stays simple: one placement fee, no recurring payroll cuts, and direct pay agreements between your family and your nanny.
Clear answers to common nanny pricing questions for full-time, part-time, short-term, and specialty care needs.
Full-time nanny pay depends on your city, weekly hours, responsibilities, and the nanny's experience. Families set pay directly with their nanny. With our one-time placement fee and no ongoing payroll cut, total costs are often up to 50% lower than traditional agency models.
Part-time nanny cost depends on your agreed hourly rate and schedule. Because we do not take recurring wage percentages, families keep more budget flexibility while paying their nanny directly.
Short-term nanny cost varies by timeline, hours, and care scope. Your family and nanny agree directly on pay, and our one-time placement fee avoids recurring agency markups.
Overnight nanny rates vary based on overnight hours, newborn support expectations, and your local market. We help define the role clearly so compensation and expectations are transparent.
Live-in and live-out compensation are structured differently because housing and schedule terms are different. We help families compare both options and set fair terms before interviews.
Average nanny rates vary by city, child age, and role complexity. A better benchmark is a role-specific pay range for your market, then a direct pay agreement with the nanny you hire.
In many cases, yes. Traditional agencies often continue taking a percentage of nanny wages after placement. We use one fee only, so your nanny keeps 100% of pay and your family avoids long-term agency deductions.
Nanny share cost per family depends on number of children, overlapping schedule hours, and each family's role expectations. We can help map responsibilities clearly before hiring.
