What drives the price

Most Greeley families pay somewhere in the $15–$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 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
Hourly rate by number of kids

Hours & schedule

Tips to find a great nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced 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 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’m a warm, dependable, and nurturing childcare professional with 2 years of paid experience as an Infant Lead Teacher. Working with infants has given me hands-on experience caring for young children.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I’m experienced with establishing routines, diapering, feeding, soothing, age-appropriate activities, and communicating with families about their child’s daily needs and progress.

As a caregiver, I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and committed to treating every child with kindness and respect. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable with the person caring for their little one, and I strive to build that trust through clear communication and dependable care. I would love the opportunity to bring my classroom experience and genuine love for children into a nanny role and become a trusted part of your family’s support system.
