What drives the price
Most Twin Falls families pay somewhere in the $8–$20/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 full-time nanny's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $13.33 |

| 2 kids | ~$14.33 |
| 3+ kids | ~$15.33+ |
03
Hours & schedule

Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-time nannies 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 full-time nannies 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.

My name is Doris, I m 60 old and have 1 daughter, she is 24. I volunteered at child development center and enjoyed working with children with disabilities. I always worked at White water rehabilitation center which provided people with equine therapy. Like caring for horses, teaching them how to ride . I enjoyed this field of work very much, because you always put a smile on their faces. I strongly believe that a child life should have structure, a healthy diet and lots of play time outside.

Hello! My name is Jude, I have been babysitting my entire young adult life and I have raised my sister who is now 10. I am very outgoing and organized. I also have taught dance classes to children ages 2yrs-14yrs old. for 3 years. I chose to teach because I love to help littles learn and grow! I am looking to earn extra money and I cannot think of anything else I would rather do then be with kids. Looking forward to working with you!-Jude
