A full time nanny is a nanny that families can hire to provide child care on a full-time basis—which usually means for forty hours a week. Typically full time nannies have a schedule that is a similar amount of hours or slightly more hours than the parent or guardian who is responsible for the children works, that way they can go to work and know their children are in good hands.
How much it costs to hire a full time nanny depends on where you live, how much experience the nanny has, and how many children they will care for. That being said, the average hourly pay rate for full time nannies on Care.com is $22.23.
It’s important to do your own research when hiring a full time nanny to ensure you feel comfortable with the person you hire to look at your children. While all full time nannies on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck, we strongly recommend that you run your own background check, interview a variety of candidates, and request references.
