How much do professional nanny jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Professional Nanny vs Babysitter?
| Aspect | Professional Nanny | Babysitter |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Often requires certifications in CPR, first aid, and childcare | Usually no formal certifications required |
| Work Environment | Long-term, full-time or part-time in private homes | Short-term, occasional, or as needed |
| Employer | Typically hired by families for ongoing care | Hired for temporary or one-time babysitting |
| Work Scope | Provides comprehensive childcare, educational activities, and sometimes household tasks | Primarily supervises children during specific times |
In summary, a Professional Nanny offers ongoing, comprehensive childcare with certifications and a consistent work environment, whereas a Babysitter provides temporary supervision without formal credentials. Both roles serve different needs within childcare.
What does a professional nanny do?
A professional nanny cares for children in a family’s home. As a professional nanny, you tend to childcare responsibilities, provide personalized attention to each child in the family, provide developmentally appropriate activities and care for children, and lend support to the parents as necessary. Professional nannies work with children of all ages, from newborn to school age, and you can provide specialized services for specific age groups or children with special needs. Your duties span everyday hygiene and care needs, meal planning and preparation for the children, educational support, and transportation. Depending on the family, you may also oversee household tasks.

Job description
The family has three children: a 3-year-old boy and two girls ages 7 and 9. All three are active, social, and love being outside. The girls are into arts and crafts, baking, and cooking, and each child brings their own distinct personality. The oldest is sensitive and thoughtful, the middle child is fiercely independent, and the youngest is a curious three-year-old still learning his place in the world. The right nanny will appreciate those nuances and meet each child where they are.
The first year will be more heavily weighted toward hands-on childcare with the 3-year-old, who is currently in part-time preschool. As he grows into full-time school, the role will naturally evolve to include more driving, activity coordination, and family assistant responsibilities. The position runs Monday through Friday, 11:30am to 7:30pm, within a true team dynamic alongside mom. When mom is present and engaged with the kids, the nanny shifts to support mode, tending to other household needs. That kind of situational awareness and team-mindedness is essential here.
Daily responsibilities include alternating school pickups, driving to extracurricular activities, homework support, and being fully present with whichever children are home. The home has a chef on staff, so cooking is limited to preparing school lunches. Additional duties include children's laundry, light cleaning, running errands, swimming with the children, administering medications as needed, and caring for the family's 90-pound Bernedoodle. The home sits on a cul-de-sac with a large backyard, pool, and sport court, and comfort in and around water is a must. The household is fully staffed with an estate manager and housekeeper, so the nanny should be comfortable working in a home where other staff are present throughout the day.
The family's approach to parenting is warm, relaxed, and traditional in its values. They are not a strict household and want their children to be genuinely excited about their nanny. The ideal candidate will follow the family's lead, respect their parenting style, and bring positive, easy energy into the home rather than rigidity. Screen time is minimal at home, with tablets reserved for travel only. Spanish fluency is a meaningful bonus. The family has no vaccination preferences.
Approximately two to four overnight stays per month are required, along with occasional weekend flexibility when the father travels. Travel with the family is welcomed, and there is potential for extended summer travel as well. The targeted start date is August 6, 2026, with some flexibility.
The family is open to out-of-state candidates and offers a relocation assistance package of $5,000 to $8,000. An NDA is required. Benefits include 10 PTO days, 5 sick days, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a potential health insurance stipend. Compensation is $32-42 gross per hour, commensurate with experience, paid biweekly via payroll. Mileage reimbursement is provided if the candidate uses their own vehicle.
- BA/BS COLLEGE DEGREE | AA IN RELATED FIELD OF STUDY | OR A MINIMUM OF 5+ YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL NANNY EXPERIENCE
- UP TO DATE FIRST-AID & CPR CERTIFICATION (WILLINGNESS TO RENEW AS NEEDED)
- THE ABILITY TO MAKE A ONE-YEAR COMMITMENT UNLESS APPLYING FOR A TEMPORARY POSITION
- A PASSION FOR WORKING WITH CHILDREN
- 5+ YEARS OF CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE IN ANY FIELD
- EXCELLENT WORK AND PERSONAL REFERENCES
- U.S. DRIVER’S LICENSE (THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO NYC RESIDENTS)
- MUST BE A COMPETENT SWIMMER (IF AND WHEN REQUIRED)
