What drives the price

Most Callaway families pay somewhere in the $13–$20/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

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 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 have previous experience teaching preschool at a highly sought private school for ages 2,3,4. I‘ve also homeschooled children up until middle school. I have lots of educational material and love to plan hands on activities. I also have taught cooking classes to various ages of kids. I currently stay home with my 2 year old and am looking for the perfect family to add to our fun together! I’d love to care for children near her age and play and learn! We have a super fun play area with a wooden playhouse, kitchen, nugget, real piano , various learning toys, art area and private bathroom to accommodate potty training . I envision planning our days much like the school I worked out and setting a schedule with a weekly theme based on our childrens interest. If this sounds like a positive fit I would love to interview with your family and see if we meet each others needs !
