Live-In Nanny in Miami, FL

A live-in nanny lives in your home and provides flexible care across mornings, evenings and, when agreed, some overnight support. Live-in arrangements suit families with demanding work schedules, multiple children, frequent travel or large homes in Pinecrest, Coral Gables, Cocoplum, Gables Estates, Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.

Our live-in candidates have proven experience living with families, verified references and nationwide background checks including local county records. We assess discretion and professionalism carefully, since live-in staff become part of everyday household life.

Live-in nannies require a private bedroom and usually a private or dedicated bathroom, clear working hours, defined days off and agreed household responsibilities. We help you put these terms in writing. Salaries in Miami for live-in nannies are typically weekly and reflect hours, number of children and additional duties such as light housekeeping or travel; the local hourly equivalent generally runs $25–$40 or more.

Relocating to Miami? We frequently place live-in nannies with families moving from New York, Latin America and Europe — the entire search can be completed by Zoom before you arrive.

Families choose one of three placement packages: Basic / Advise at $1,500 plus taxes with a 90-day replacement warranty, the Standard Package at $2,500 plus taxes with a 6-month replacement warranty (our most popular), or the Premium Package at $3,500 plus taxes with a 12-month replacement warranty. A $500 non-refundable retainer plus applicable taxes activates the search and is credited toward the selected package total. The remaining balance is due before contact details are shared, before any in-person meeting or trial, and before the first working day. We accept Zelle, Venmo and bank transfer. All agency fees are final and non-refundable; replacement support is provided instead of refunds.

A live-in nanny makes the most sense when parents work long or unpredictable hours, travel often, have several young children, or live in a gated community or island where commuting is difficult, such as Fisher Island, Star Island, Key Biscayne or Gables Estates. Live-in care also suits families relocating to Miami who want stable support while they settle into a new home and school.

If you mainly need daytime help and value privacy in the evenings, a live-out nanny may be the better fit. Many families start live-in during the baby's first year and switch to live-out later. We talk through both options honestly before starting a search.

Live-in nannies need a private bedroom, ideally with a private bathroom, Wi-Fi, and clearly defined off-duty hours and days off. Most live-in schedules in Miami are five days on with two consecutive days off, with total working hours agreed in writing. Families should spell out duties such as children's meals, laundry, school drop-off and travel, and agree on how overnight wake-ups are handled.

Live-in nannies are usually paid a weekly salary rather than an hourly rate. The salary reflects experience, languages, driving and travel availability; hourly-equivalent rates for experienced Miami nannies generally fall between $25 and $40. As the employer, the family is responsible for payroll and taxes, and many families use a household payroll service.

Because live-in placements are long-term and closely tied to family plans, families who expect to relocate or grow their family often choose the Premium Package at $3,500 plus taxes with a 12-month replacement warranty.

Expect a live-in search to take a few weeks, because the right match depends on personality and household fit as much as experience. We present candidates who have already completed background, reference and certification checks, coordinate Zoom interviews, and help you plan a paid trial after the balance is paid so both sides can confirm the fit. Relocating families can begin the process before arriving in Miami, with interviews held entirely online.
