Why Miami Families Choose Beverly

Miami's nanny market is shaped by the city's bilingual culture, year-round outdoor lifestyle, and a population of transplants from across Latin America, the Northeast, and Europe. Many families want a nanny who speaks both Spanish and English fluently, which narrows the candidate pool for those seeking genuine bilingual care rather than basic conversational ability. At the same time, the influx of families relocating to South Florida in recent years has increased demand for experienced nannies, pushing rates upward especially in Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, and Coconut Grove.

Beverly helps Miami families navigate this complex market by coordinating across local agencies and community referral networks throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. We understand that the right nanny for a Brickell high-rise family looks very different from the right nanny for a family in a Coral Gables single-family home. Every candidate goes through the same thorough screening: Florida Department of Law Enforcement background check, reference verification, structured interview, and credential review.

Water safety is another critical consideration for Miami families. With pools, beaches, and canals everywhere, many parents want a nanny who is CPR-certified and ideally a strong swimmer. Beverly screens for these qualifications and can prioritize candidates with water safety training, giving you peace of mind during the long South Florida summer.

How Much Does a Nanny Cost in Miami?

Miami nanny rates are moderate compared to coastal cities like New York and San Francisco, though affluent neighborhoods command higher pay. For more detail, see our complete guide to Miami nanny costs.

Full-Time Nanny$22 - $38$880 - $1,520$45,760 - $79,040
Part-Time Nanny (20 hrs/wk)$25 - $42$500 - $840$26,000 - $43,680

Nanny Share (per family)$15 - $26$600 - $1,040$31,200 - $54,080

*Live-in rates are lower per hour because room and board offset part of the compensation. All figures are pre-tax estimates for 2025-2026.

Bilingual nannies fluent in Spanish and English typically command a $2-$4/hr premium. Families in Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, and Fisher Island generally pay at the upper end of these ranges. Nannies with water safety certifications may also earn more given Miami's pool-and-beach culture.

Florida Employment Law for Nannies

Florida's lack of a state income tax simplifies nanny payroll compared to states like California or New York. However, federal obligations still apply. For a full overview, visit our nanny tax guide.

Minimum Wage

The Florida minimum wage is $14.00 per hour, with annual adjustments scheduled through 2026. Miami-Dade County follows the state minimum. All household employers must pay at least the state rate.

Overtime

Florida follows federal overtime rules. Nannies must be paid 1.5 times their regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Florida does not have daily overtime thresholds.

Paid Time Off & Benefits

Florida does not mandate paid sick leave or vacation for household employees at the state level. However, offering PTO is standard practice in Miami's competitive nanny market. Most families provide 5-10 paid vacation days, 3-5 sick days, and paid federal holidays. Some families also offer a summer schedule bonus given the year-round nature of childcare in Miami.

Taxes & Workers' Compensation

Florida has no state income tax, so payroll is simpler than in many other states. Federal requirements remain: withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA) if you pay $3,000 or more per year, and pay federal unemployment tax (FUTA). Florida does not require workers' compensation for household employers, but many families carry it for liability protection. Beverly connects you with payroll providers who handle all federal compliance.

Babysitter Services in Miami

Looking for a babysitter in Miami instead of a full-time nanny? Beverly helps with that too. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage or a regular part-time sitter, our screening and coordination services ensure you find trustworthy care.

Babysitters in Miami typically charge $22-$33 per hour in 2026, depending on experience, number of children, and timing. Weekend and evening rates tend to be at the upper end of this range. For comparison, a full-time nanny in Miami costs $22-$38 per hour — the higher commitment reflecting the consistent schedule and expanded duties.

Even for occasional babysitting, Beverly recommends running a background check. Our platform makes it easy to screen sitters with the same rigor you'd apply to a full-time nanny. Learn more about the key differences between nannies and babysitters to decide which arrangement fits your family.
