How much does a nanny cost in Marbella?

It's the first question most families ask, and the honest answer is: it depends. What you'll pay for a nanny in Marbella comes down to the type of care, the hours, your children and whether it's a one-off or ongoing. Here's how to think about it.

What affects the cost of a nanny

• Type of booking — a one-off evening babysitter, regular weekly hours, a holiday nanny for a villa stay, or a full-time live-in nanny are all priced differently.
• Hours & timing — evenings, weekends, last-minute and overnight care usually cost more than daytime hours.
• Number and ages of children — more children, or newborns needing specialist care, affects the rate.
• Experience & languages — an experienced, multilingual or newborn-specialist nanny is priced accordingly.

The main types of nanny booking

Occasional babysitting is charged by the hour and is ideal for date nights and events. Regular care — fixed weekly hours with the same nanny — is often better value per hour. Holiday nannies for villa stays are usually arranged by the day or week. A live-in nanny is a longer-term arrangement with its own terms.

What nannies are asking in Marbella (October 2026)

Published listings give a useful reference point, though they are not Oka Nannys prices:

• Hourly (marketplace): nannies on one popular Marbella babysitting marketplace ask roughly €10–€16 per hour, averaging about €11.70, with platform fees added on top (Babysits, Marbella).
• Live-in / full-time roles: recruiter listings for Marbella nanny and family-assistant positions typically quote around €1,500–€3,000 net per month, with senior or specialised roles higher (example listing).
• Legal floor: the 2026 minimum wage is €1,221 per month over 14 payments for full-time domestic work, and employers also pay Social Security — see how to hire a nanny in Spain legally.

These are market snapshots, not guarantees: rates move with experience, languages, newborn skills, hours and season. Agency fees are on top of a nanny's pay.

How Oka Nannys quotes

Rather than a fixed price list that fits no one, we quote per request — you tell us what you need and we come back quickly with clear, transparent options, so you know exactly what you're paying for. There are no hidden fees, and our nannies are all personally vetted.

Getting the best value

Booking regular hours, being flexible on timing, and telling us your real needs up front all help us match you with the right nanny at the right price. Cheaper isn't always better when it's your children — but great care doesn't have to mean overpaying, either.
