Prices checked on 20 October 2026. Every figure below is taken from the same plan tables as our service pages and checkout, so what you read here is what you are quoted.
01The three parts of the cost
Whether you call them a nanny, a babysitter or a baby care taker, hiring one through ApnoKeCare in Bangalore (Bengaluru) has at most three parts. Two go to different people, and only one carries tax.
- Part 1Caregiver’s salary
Paid by you, straight to the caregiver, on the 1st of every month. Agreed in writing before day one. No GST.
- Part 2Our plan fee
One payment for the whole plan, 1 to 12 months. It covers matching, checks, the agreed duties and replacements while the plan runs.
- Part 3GST on our fee
18% on the plan fee or hourly booking only, never on the salary. Shown before you pay, and on your invoice.
Two services work differently. Short-notice babysitting is charged by the hour and the rate already includes the caregiver’s pay. Newborn baby bathing is a monthly price that includes both our fee and the caregiver’s pay.
02What each service costs: worked examples
Each example uses the shortest plan for one child (or one baby, or one elderly person), so it is the most a plan fee costs per month. Longer plans cost less per month; the salary stays the same.

See Senior Citizen Care plans03What changes the salary
The plan fee is fixed per plan. The salary is agreed with you and the caregiver before care starts, and these are the things that move it:
- Hours and days. A part-time nanny’s salary depends on the hours you need, which is why the Part-Time Nanny page quotes the plan fee and agrees the salary with you. A 24-hour live-in nanny is ₹24,000–₹26,000 a month.
- Experience. A Japa caregiver with more newborn experience is at the top of the ₹28,000–₹35,000 range.
- Number of children. Twins have their own plan fees, and the salary is agreed for two children.
- Live-in care. A live-in caregiver needs 8 hours of proper sleep every day, healthy food, three meals a day, a clean and safe place to sleep and respectful behaviour and salary paid on time. Food and a place to sleep are provided by you, not deducted from the salary.
- Where you live. We match caregivers who live near you in Whitefield, Koramangala, Indiranagar, HSR Layout and across Bengaluru, so travel does not add to the cost. If your area is not listed, ask us.
04What is not in the price
- Housework for adults. Cooking for adults, sweeping, mopping and washing adults’ clothes or utensils are not part of a nanny’s job unless you agree it separately with the caregiver.
- Police verification. Available as an optional paid extra. We tell you whether it has been done before you confirm, so you are never guessing.
- Medical care. Japa, baby bathing and elderly care are care at home, not nursing. Our caregivers are not nurses unless we clearly offer you a trained nurse.
- Advance salary. Please do not pay salary in advance; we cannot take responsibility for money given to a caregiver ahead of time.
05Replacement and refunds
These rules are the same for every family and are shared before you pay. They are written into every plan.
- You can ask for a new caregiver any time while your plan is active.
- We send a new caregiver within 2 working days. If we can’t, we refund the fee for the unused part of your plan.
- If the caregiver doesn’t join on day 1 or day 2, you get a full refund or a replacement.
- If a caregiver leaves in between, you pay salary only for the days they worked.
- If care starts in the middle of a month, you pay salary only for the days worked (counting 30 days in a month).
