How Much Does a MHM Nanny Cost?

Hourly rates for nannies in the city and suburbs typically range from $30 per hour to $50 per hour pre-tax. 

The total cost of your family’s nanny will depend on a number of factors, including the number of children you have, age of your children, your location, and the services you would like your nanny to provide. 

Families should expect to pay more for live-in nannies, ROTA nannies, unique schedules, and locations that may require long-distance commutes. Families should also be prepared to pay for any additional services that they request, such as laundry or driving children.

Choosing the right nanny for your family is a crucial decision. Different families have varying needs and preferences, and the type of nanny that best suits you depends on your specific lifestyle, schedule, and childcare requirements.

There are several different types of nannies, each with their own unique benefits and considerations. Two of the most popular options for families seeking comprehensive childcare solutions are ROTA nannies and live-in nannies.

What Type of Nanny Do You Need?

A live-in nanny resides in the family's home and provides childcare services full-time. They have their own dedicated private quarters within the home and are responsible for all aspects of the children's care, from daily routines to educational activities.

What is a Live-In Nanny?

Benefits of Hiring a Live-In Nanny:

  • Convenience: Live-in nannies offer unparalleled convenience, especially for families with young children or those with unpredictable schedules.

  • Consistent Care: They provide a consistent presence and build strong bonds with the children.

  • Flexibility: Live-in nannies can often accommodate additional responsibilities, such as light housework or errands.

Is a Live-In Nanny Right for You?

Live-in nannies are a great fit for families who:

  • Value a consistent caregiver for their children

  • Need childcare support beyond traditional working hours

  • Have ample space to accommodate a live-in professional

  • Are willing to pay a premium rate for this type of specialized care

It is important to clarify a live-in nanny’s working hours and establish a regular schedule that can be enforced to allow for work-life balance.

What is a ROTA Nanny?

A rotational nanny, or ROTA nanny, is a childcare professional who works in a team of two or more nannies, rotating shifts to provide continuous care for children. Typically, each nanny works for a set period (e.g., one to two weeks), followed by an extended period of time off. This ensures that the children always have a dedicated caregiver while allowing nannies to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Is a ROTA Nanny Right for Your Household?

ROTA nannies are well-suited for families who:

  • Travel frequently with their nanny

  • Have demanding work schedules

  • Need flexibility in childcare arrangements

  • Prioritize consistent and specialized care

Benefits of Hiring a ROTA Nanny:

  • 24/7 Care: ROTA nannies offer round-the-clock childcare, ideal for busy families with demanding schedules.

  • Reduced Burnout: The rotating schedule helps prevent nanny burnout and ensures consistent, high-quality care.

  • Shared Expertise: Multiple nannies bring diverse skills and experiences to the family.
