What drives the price

Most Senoia families pay somewhere in the $10–$28/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

Experience is one of the biggest levers on a child care provider's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
  • Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
  • Be specific about hours upfront. Most child care will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
  • Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
  • Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

A little bit about me

I’m 47 and have 2 boys. Gage is 24 and got married in May 4th and Gunner is 20 and he got married June 1st last year. Both my babies got engaged ,married, and bought their own homes in the same year. I was a stay at home mom until and always ended up being room mom some how. When they were in middle school i went to work. I worked for Hal Blackman at his home as his personal assistant/ housekeeper/ party planner for 5 years. I was in a head on collision in 2019 and have not worked since then.My father ended up not being able to stay alone in 2020. I moved him in with us and took care of him. I lost my dad in January at the age of 88. I took some time to myself for a few months. I feel it’s time to get back at doing what I love.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Elizabeth! I am 20 years old and a nursing student at UWG in hopes of working in L&D. In my free time, I love to volunteer in my local SIDPID classroom and go adventures to places nearby. I just moved to Senoia and cannot wait to meet you and your lovely family!

When I was a young child, I had a nanny of my own and she felt like a big sister in a house of all boys. As I grew up, I couldn't wait to share that same experience with a different family and be able to capture fun moments for their parents like my own did. I have worked with most ages, from newborns to teens and I don't mind the friends that come along with older kids -- it's part of being a kid! Feel free to reach out with any questions, I hope you find the perfect person for your family.
