What drives the price
Most Spokane families pay somewhere in the $17–$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 live-in 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) | $19.90 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$20.90 |
| 3+ kids | ~$21.90+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage

Tips to find a great live-in nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best live-in nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced live-in 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 live-in 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
I have a love for the outdoors and keeping myself busy! Hikes, walks, picnics, and swimming are some of my favorite things to do! I’ve worked with kids off and on for a few years. Toddlers to early elementary are my favorite age ranges but I’m happy to watch any child except infants!

A little bit about me
My name is Carrie Troudt. I am number five of ten kids, so I grew up taking care of children. I had a few babysitting jobs as a teenager, but most of my experience comes from my volunteer work. I have been a soccer coach since I was in 9th grade, and I’ve worked with all age levels in that arena. I love to learn, teach and grow. I’m very good at listening to kids and working with them to meet their goals.
