What are the typical nanny rates in Tampa?
In Tampa, professional nannies typically earn between $22–$38 per hour, depending on experience, qualifications, and specific duties. Live-in nannies may command a slightly higher hourly rate due to the unique nature of their role.

What is the process for hiring a household manager in South Tampa?
The process begins with a private discovery call to understand your family’s unique needs and lifestyle in South Tampa. We then present a curated selection of highly qualified candidates who align with your specific requirements for household management.
