Nanny Hiring

How Much Does a Nanny Cost in NYC?

Nanny salaries in NYC depend on hours, experience and duties. Learn how to budget for wages, taxes and agency support.

What determines nanny pay?

Experience with your child’s age, the number of children, schedule, location, driving, travel and specialized responsibilities all affect compensation. Overnight or unusually demanding schedules may command different rates.

Budget for the full employment cost

Look beyond the hourly wage. Consider legally required overtime, applicable payroll taxes, paid leave, transportation arrangements, benefits and backup childcare. An agency placement fee, when applicable, is separate from wages.

Compare the whole role, not just the rate

A position caring for one school-age child differs from caring for infant twins or coordinating multiple school pickups. Define responsibilities clearly before comparing candidates.
