Hire a nanny in Miami and South Florida

Short answer: Nanny: Typical: $21–$29/hr (about $44,000–$60,000 a year full-time) (salary guide). Free for families until January 2027, and candidates never pay. Agencies charge fees that vary by agency and role; HomeHire is a direct-hiring marketplace with no agency fees.

Plan childcare across Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Brickell, and South Florida with a confidential nanny brief. Public listings require family consent. Review structured profiles and choose whom to meet directly; nationwide introductions remain available.

Miami nanny roles range from after-school care for one child in a Brickell condo to full-day care for siblings in a Pinecrest or Coral Gables home. Write down the children's age bands, the daily routine and who else is in the home, without names or school details, so a nanny can judge whether the work fits.

School runs across the county, summer camp gaps and hurricane-season closures change the schedule more than most families expect. Say whether driving is required, whose car is used, and how the week changes when school is out.

Who hires a nanny in Miami

Families in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties who want regular childcare at home: working parents, families with a newborn, and households that split time between Miami and another city.

A nanny cares for the children in the family home and on agreed outings. The role is set by the family's routine, the children's ages and the hours agreed; it is not a babysitting service or a daycare place.

What the nanny role involves in Miami

Agree childcare duties first: routines, meals, outings, homework help and bedtime. Light household tasks tied to the children, such as their laundry and tidying play areas, should be named; general housekeeping is a separate role, or a combined nanny-housekeeper role with its own brief. Travel with the family and overnight care need separate agreement.

Typical hourly pay in Miami

Annual full-time equivalents use hourly pay × 2,080, rounded to the nearest $1,000, before tax; these are guidance, not a promise of local wages or a replacement for applicable minimum-wage and overtime rules.

US typical range; local pay varies with local wages and minimum-wage rules.

Based on Care.com and US Bureau of Labor Statistics pay data and published household-staff salary surveys, Oct 2026. Actual pay depends on duties, hours and experience.

How to hire a nanny in Miami, step by step

  1. Post a free brief with the children's age bands, schedule, general area, driving needs and pay.
  2. Review nanny profiles and the experience, availability and preferences each candidate states.

How to hire directly in Miami

Start with a household brief that names the role, general location, duties, hours and pay. Keep exact addresses, entry codes and children's personal details private; a public listing requires the family's choice to publish.

Review candidate-stated experience, availability and preferences, then request an introduction where the workflow permits it. Interview, discuss references and agree lawful working terms directly; a profile or introduction is not an endorsement.

Families hire directly and do their own checks, including references, identity and right to work. Payroll support is through our partner, subject to confirmed availability.

The hiring family is the employer. HomeHire does not employ household workers, run payroll or hold wages. Worker pay is agreed separately and is never reduced by a HomeHire candidate fee.

Free for families until January 2027, and candidates never pay.
