Hire a Live-In Nanny in Boston or Nashville

Live-In Nannies

Live-In Nannies reside in the family’s home, offering dependable care and a level of flexibility that naturally comes with living on-site. They often become an integral part of the household while maintaining clear professional boundaries.

Because they live in, these Nannies can easily adjust to the family’s needs, whether that means early mornings, later evenings, or providing coverage during bad weather. While their schedules may vary, they still work structured hours and have dedicated time off, just like any full-time professional. Live-In Nannies are typically compensated at the same rate as Live-Out Nannies. This option is intended for families who value and need the flexibility and convenience that comes with having a caregiver on-site.

Live-in Nannies are ideal for families who:

Need flexible coverage due to demanding or irregular schedules
Live outside major cities where commuting can be challenging
Value consistency and long-term relationships with a trusted caregiver
Appreciate help with morning routines, school drop-offs, or evening transitions
Have suitable accommodations available, at minimum a private bedroom and bathroom for the Nanny’s exclusive use

A live-in arrangement provides the convenience of having support close at hand, along with the reliability and professionalism that families depend on.

Live-In Nanny FAQ's

How flexible are Live-In Nannies’ schedules?

Live-in Nannies typically have clearly defined working hours and dedicated time off. That said, being on-site often allows for a bit more day-to-day flexibility, such as early mornings, evenings, or the occasional schedule shift, when discussed in advance.

What accommodations are required for a Live-In Nanny?

Families must provide at minimum a private bedroom and bathroom for the Nanny’s exclusive use. Additional amenities, such as a private living area or access to household facilities, are often appreciated.

How are Live-In Nannies compensated?

Live-in Nannies are generally compensated at the same rate as live-out nannies, with standard benefits like guaranteed hours and paid time off. While overtime rules may vary by state, compensation and benefits otherwise mirror a traditional nanny arrangement.

Are Live-In Nannies always on call?

Yes, please indicate on your booking form if driving is required. If the caregiver uses their own vehicle, mileage reimbursement will be required at the current IRS rate.
