How Much Do You Pay For a Nanny?

Nanny wages vary across the country and depend on experience levels and whether you provide housing. Are you trying to figure out how much to pay your babysitter or nanny? It’s important to set a competitive rate to attract the most qualified applicants, but you also don’t want to overpay – a night out is already expensive enough! Use the table to compare rates nearby, then check out more tips below to set a rate for your babysitter or nanny.

The national average gross weekly salary for full time live-out nannies is $705. For full-time live-in nannies it's $652 — not a huge difference, though their job responsibilities tend to be more expansive and include household work.

Here's where it can get tricky, the number of hours. The government mandates nannies working more than 40 hours in a 7-day week get paid overtime which is normally 1.5 times your nanny's hourly rate.
