Across the US, nannies usually charge $20–30 an hour; we’ll show Acton figures once enough local providers list their rates. Rates go up for infants, twins and late or overnight hours.
Read reviews from local families, check each provider’s badges, and always run your own background check before you hire.
$20–30 is a typical hourly rate across the US in 2026. Prices vary with city, experience, hours and the number of children.
If you employ someone in your home and pay them $2,800 or more in a year, you owe federal household employment taxes. Check your state’s rules too.
Some have verified ID and certificates, shown as badges. Always run your own background check before hiring.
