Hiring a nanny or babysitter in Bangalore
Trusting someone with your child is the hardest hire of all — which is exactly why Bengaluru parents want verification, not just a word-of-mouth reference. Sevetu helps you find nannies, babysitters and japa (newborn-care) maids with ID/KYC-verified profiles, so you can interview over safe in-app chat and choose with confidence.
Whether you need a few hours of after-school care, a full-day nanny, or specialist newborn and post-delivery mother care, you set the needs, agree the terms directly, and record everything in a digital work agreement — with no commission taken from you or the nanny.
What kind of nanny can you hire?
How to hire, in four honest steps
Post your nanny job
Share the role, your locality in Bangalore, timings and budget. It takes about two minutes.
Review verified applicants
Compare experience, skills and ID verification at a glance — you always know who you are talking to.
Chat & agree on terms
Settle salary, hours, weekly off and duties over secure in-app chat. You decide the terms.
Sign a digital agreement
What you both agreed is recorded in a simple digital work agreement — clear for both sides.
How much does it cost?
A nanny's salary in Bangalore depends on the child's age, hours and whether you need day, live-in or specialist newborn (japa) care. Typical market ranges:
Part-time babysitter
₹8,000 – ₹15,000 / month
A few hours a day for toddler or after-school care.
Full-time / live-in nanny
₹15,000 – ₹30,000 / month
Full-day or live-in care for infants and children.
Japa / newborn (24-hr)
₹25,000 – ₹45,000 / month
Specialist newborn and post-delivery mother care, often live-in for a fixed term.
These are typical Bangalore market ranges, not Sevetu's prices. You agree the wage directly with the worker and it's recorded in your digital work agreement — Sevetu never takes a commission or cut of the salary. Posting a job and reviewing verified applicants is always free. See the full Bangalore domestic-help salary guide →.
What to check before you hire a nanny in Bangalore
Match the child's age
Newborns, toddlers and school-age children need different experience — state the age and needs clearly in your job.
Interview thoroughly
Use in-app chat and a face-to-face meeting to check experience, first-aid awareness and comfort with your routine.
Insist on verification
Prefer the Verified (KYC) badge and check references; for childcare, always add your own judgement.
Japa / newborn care
For post-delivery care, confirm experience with newborns and mothers, and agree the live-in term and duties.
Document the routine
Put feeds, naps, timings, salary, leave and notice in the digital work agreement so expectations are shared.
Sevetu vs an agency, a broker or a WhatsApp group
Most families in India find nannies one of four ways. They are not equivalent, and the differences show up in what you pay and what happens when something goes wrong.
| Route | What it costs you | Who you actually talk to | Is it verified? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sevetu | Nothing. You pay only the salary, direct to the nanny | The nanny themselves, in app chat | ID/KYC check with a Verified badge |
| Placement agency | Typically one month's salary as a placement fee, often repeated on replacement | An agent. You usually meet the nanny on day one | Varies. Often claimed, rarely evidenced |
| Local broker / dalal | A cut of the salary, sometimes every month, sometimes from both sides | The broker, who controls the relationship | No |
| WhatsApp group / classifieds | Free | Whoever answers. Often a broker posing as the worker | No. No identity check at all |
The honest trade-off: an agency does the shortlisting for you and will usually send a replacement. On Sevetu you review profiles and interview yourself, which takes an hour or two — and in exchange nobody takes a cut, from you or from the nanny.
What is different about hiring a nanny in Bangalore
Your child learns the nanny's language
In a city where the nanny may speak Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi or Bengali, this is a real parenting decision, not an afterthought. Many Bengaluru families choose deliberately for a second language.
School runs and pickup
If the role includes school drop or pickup, name the school and timings in the post. Traffic between HSR, Koramangala and Sarjapur Road makes a 20-minute run a 50-minute one twice a day.
IT-corridor shift patterns
Parents on US or EU hours often need cover early morning or late evening rather than a standard day. Say the actual window — it filters hard, in a good way.
Society play areas and rules
Many gated communities restrict where domestic staff can take children, and require an ID or gate pass. Check with your RWA before the start date.
Live-in needs a real room
Live-in nanny arrangements are common in Bengaluru apartments but the room and bathroom arrangement should be agreed explicitly, not assumed.
Festival leave
Ugadi, Ayudha Puja and Deepavali are when staff most often travel home. For childcare this needs a backup plan agreed in advance.
Sevetu covers Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Marathahalli, Sarjapur Road, Electronic City, Bellandur, Hebbal, Yelahanka, Banashankari, Rajajinagar, BTM Layout, Kalyan Nagar and the rest of Bengaluru. See the Bangalore salary guide for current rates.

Frequently asked questions
As a rough guide, a part-time babysitter is around ₹8,000–₹15,000/month, a full-time or live-in nanny ₹15,000–₹30,000, and a specialist japa (newborn) maid ₹25,000–₹45,000. On Sevetu you agree the wage directly, with no commission.
Yes. Post a japa / newborn-care job and experienced applicants who specialise in post-delivery mother and baby care can apply — usually live-in for a fixed period.
Nannies can be ID-verified with a Verified badge from an identity (KYC) check, and you can review experience and interview over in-app chat before you decide. It is an identity check, not a police or background check — please use your own judgement too, especially for childcare.
Yes. Post your job with your area — Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar and more — and verified nannies near you can apply.
Yes. You chat with applicants over secure in-app chat (your number stays private), compare experience, and only then agree terms in a digital work agreement.
Both. You set whether you need part-time, full-day or live-in care when you post the job, and matching nannies apply.
Yes. Post your job with your area — Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Marathahalli and more — and verified babysitters and nannies near you can apply. You review ID-checked profiles and hire directly.
Yes. A japa maid specialises in post-natal care for the mother and newborn — baby bathing, massage, feeding support and night care. Post your job with your due date or start date and verified japa maids in Bangalore can apply.
There is no fee to compare. A placement agency typically charges one month's salary as a placement fee, and a local broker often takes a cut every month. Sevetu charges neither the household nor the worker anything — you pay only the agreed salary, directly. What you give up is the agency doing the shortlisting for you.
All of Bengaluru — Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Marathahalli, Sarjapur Road, Electronic City, Bellandur, Hebbal, Yelahanka, Banashankari, Rajajinagar, BTM Layout and Kalyan Nagar among others. Post your exact locality rather than just 'Bangalore' — you will get fewer applicants but far more who can realistically commute.
