What drives the price
Most Bradenton families pay somewhere in the $13–$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 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.

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
Hi there. My name is Miss Amy. I’ve been working as a nanny for several years in Sarasota. I recently moved back to the area and am looking to connect with a new family. I’ve got experience with twins, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school aged children, and teens. I’ve been an online ESL teacher, a tutor, a Sunday School teacher, and a youth group assistant. I’m happy to make the kids meals and clean up after play time. I’m not a big TV person so we will be engaging in fun activities. Let’s connect!

A little bit about me
Hi!! I am Shyann, I’m 18 and I am looking for a nanny position that works well with my current schedule and situation at this time in my life. I have previously worked at a daycare with small children but I never got certified because my schedule was not lining up with what they needed me to work, I eventually had to quit. I love seeing children develop and learn new things as well as teaching them!! Helping out a mother/father who is in need of help with childcare and/or house duties is something I would enjoy. I do have my license but I am not cpr certified, I am looking into getting that asap.
