What drives the price
Most Oklahoma City families pay somewhere in the $8–$25/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

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! My name is Peyton. I have a 9 month old daughter who I’m currently taking care of alone. I’ve worked in a private preschool for almost 3 years and was working on getting my CDA, but wasn’t able to finish my classes. I love being with kids, taking care of kids is the most natural/rewarding career I’ve ever been in. I’m hoping I can find a family that will let my daughter tag along and get to interact with other babies/children. I want to better me and my daughter’s life and also a special family. I cook, clean, help out with schoolwork, potty train, you name it! I really hope someone will give my daughter and I a chance and I promise, I will treat your child as my own. ❤️❤️❤️

A little bit about me
I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education, and I have worked in childcare for over a decade (longer if you include babysitting). My most recent positions were student teaching in pre-K and as a master teacher at a day care, where I primarily served ages 0-3 years old. Health and safety are my utmost priority. I love doing light cleaning if the kids are asleep, and pets are a bonus. I am truly passionate about childcare and early education, as I understand the impact it has on the rest of the child’s life. I also do my best to understand how scary it has to be to leave your baby in the hands of another. I am happy to send picture updates and do phone calls to help reassure you. I try to implement “Conscious Discipline." I try to understand why a child did something, how they are feeling, and how I can help them to regulate their behavior. I view transgressions as learning moments and, most importantly, as an effort to communicate a need.
