Finding nanny work in India
Childcare is the household job families are most careful about, which means verified, experienced carers are in demand and paid accordingly. Work ranges from after-school babysitting to full-time infant care to japa work in the weeks after a delivery.
On Sevetu families see your experience and ID verification before they contact you, and you deal with them directly. No agency takes a share of what you earn.
A better way to find household work
What can a nanny earn in India?
Childcare pay rises with the age of the child and the hours. Newborn and japa work pays the most because it is specialised and often overnight.
Part-time babysitter
₹6,000 – ₹14,000 / month
After-school or a few hours a day.
Full-time / live-in nanny
₹15,000 – ₹28,000 / month
Full-day or live-in care, usually infants.
Japa maid (post-natal)
₹18,000 – ₹35,000 / month
Newborn and mother care for 40–90 days.
These are typical market ranges across India, not Sevetu's rates. You agree your salary directly with the family and it is recorded in your digital work agreement. Sevetu never takes a commission.

The four kinds of childcare work families hire for
"Nanny job" covers work that looks very different day to day. Knowing which kind you want makes your profile sharper and saves you applying to jobs you would turn down.
- Part-time, after school. Usually three to five hours, from pickup until a parent is home — homework, snack, play, sometimes the school run. Suits anyone whose mornings are already committed.
- Full-day, live-out. Eight to ten hours with an infant or toddler while both parents work: feeding, naps, bathing, play, often the child's laundry and utensils. The most common full-time childcare job in cities.
- Newborn and japa work. A fixed stretch of roughly 40 to 90 days after a delivery, caring for the mother as well as the baby — malish, bathing, feeding support, night waking. Specialised, often overnight, and it ends on a date both sides know in advance.
- Travel and relocation. The family takes you on holidays or to another city. Ask early who pays for travel and stay, and how your off days work when you are away from home.
What childcare work pays, and what moves the number
No source gives one honest national rate, and a per-locality figure is always a guess. Two numbers do have something behind them.
For a day nanny working eight to ten hours and going home at night, Bengaluru households reported ₹16,000 to ₹22,000 a month in resident accounts dated November 2024 to April 2026 — reports that skew towards apartment and tech-corridor families, the higher-paying end of the city.
Karnataka separately notifies a statutory minimum wage for domestic work. In Zone 1, the notified BBMP areas, housekeeping and cleaning together with looking after children is set at ₹18,645.02 a month (₹717.12 a day) for 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. That is a legal floor for full-time work, not a market rate. The state notifies no hourly rate and no pro-rating rule, so it cannot be divided down for part-time hours.
Beyond that, pay moves with your hours, the child's age, night duty, and whether cooking or cleaning is part of the job.
Winning a family's trust is the job
Parents are handing over a child. They hire the person who feels safest, not the person who asks for least, and most of that is decided before you ever start.
Be specific about ages. "Good with kids" tells a family nothing. "Two years with a baby from four months to two and a half, and three years with a five-year-old including the school run" tells them exactly what you can handle. Name the ages, the years, the routine you ran.
Bring references and let them be called. One previous employer who will pick up the phone is worth more than any certificate. Ask past families for permission, keep the number ready, and offer it before you are asked.
Treat the first meeting as the interview it is. Arrive on time, meet the child, ask what a normal day looks like, ask about allergies, sleep and screen rules. Questions like those read as competence.
Get ID-verified on Sevetu as well. It confirms who you are, nothing more, but families filter for it.
Settle these before your first day
Most trouble in household work comes from things nobody said out loud in the first week. Agree them in chat, where there is a record, before you start.
- Salary and the pay date. The amount, and which day of the month it comes.
- Exact hours, including what happens when a parent gets home late and whether that time is paid.
- What the job includes. Childcare only, or also the child's laundry, utensils, meals, or housework. Say what you do and what you do not.
- Weekly off and leave. Which day, how many days a year, and how much notice each side gives.
- Festival bonus or annual raise, if any. Agreeing it now is easier than asking for it later.
- Notice period, the same for both sides.
Then put it into the digital work agreement. Both of you accept it and it records what was agreed, so nobody is relying on memory in month six. The family pays you directly — Sevetu never handles the money and takes no cut of it.

A japa maid cares for the mother and newborn for roughly 40 to 90 days after a delivery — bathing, malish, feeding support and night duty. It is specialised, often overnight, and paid above ordinary childcare.
No certificate is required. Families care most about real experience with children of a similar age. Say clearly how many children you have looked after and for how long.
Yes. Many families need cover only between school hours and a parent returning. Set those hours on your profile and apply to matching part-time jobs.
Sevetu covers Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kochi, Coimbatore, Indore, Lucknow and more. Coverage is deepest in Bengaluru — see nanny and babysitter jobs in Bangalore.
Start from the work, not a guess. For full-day, live-out nanny work in Bengaluru, households have reported ₹16,000 to ₹22,000 a month, mostly apartment and tech-corridor families. Adjust for your hours, the child's age and any cooking or cleaning included. Give a range, say plainly what it covers, and let the family respond.
No. Joining, getting verified and applying are free, and Sevetu takes no commission from you or from the family. The salary is agreed between the two of you and paid to you directly — Sevetu never touches the money. There is no agent in between and no referral fee to anyone.
It is common, and it is negotiable. Some households want childcare only; others expect the child's laundry, utensils and meals, or full housework. None of it is automatic. Decide what you are willing to take on, say so before you start, and make sure the extra work is reflected in the salary and in the agreement.
Yes. Say it exactly as it is — whose children, what ages, for how long, what you did each day. Families read honest, specific experience far better than a vague claim of years. Expect to begin with part-time or after-school work, and ask that first family for a reference you can use next.
Not unless you share it. Conversations start in Sevetu's in-app chat and your number stays private until you decide to give it out. Discuss hours, duties and salary there first. Because it is written down, you also keep a record of what was discussed before either side commits to anything.
Agree a notice period at the start, the same for both sides, and it stops being an argument later. When you do leave, give the notice you agreed, help the family through the handover, and ask for a reference. In childcare, a family you part with well is often your next job.
