What drives the price

Most Nashua families pay somewhere in the $7–$30/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.

10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by 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.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kristen. I have an 18 year old daughter and I’m an auntie to three kiddos age 3,5 and 6. I love spending time with family. I love kids and doing kid activities. I always wanted to be a nanny for my sister but she lives too far away. My niece calls me her best friend. Children have always been drawn to me and it makes me feel good because I feel like children and animals are good judges of character. When I was young I loved playing house and dolls. I enjoy doing arts and crafts and baking. I have worked in the dental field for several years and I enjoyed it because I was helping people. I am looking to switch careers and work with children because that is where my passion is.
