How Nanny Rates Work

  • Nannies set their own hourly rates based on experience and qualifications
  • Rates vary by destination to reflect local cost of living, whether you are booking in Boracay, Phuket, or another holiday location.
  • You pay nannies directly—we don't take any commission from their earnings
  • Total cost = (Hourly rate × Hours) + Booking fee
