What drives the price
Most Coral Gables 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.

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
My name is Jessica and I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Special Education. I have a strong passion for working with children and helping them grow in supportive, inclusive environments. My goal is to make a positive difference in every child’s life, whether in the classroom or at home. I bring a variety of hands-on experience to my work with kids. I’ve worked as a Behavioral Therapist, supporting children with diverse needs. Outside of work and school, I’m a big fan of reading, especially historical fiction novels. I also love traveling, spending time at the beach, and making memories with my family. These personal interests help keep me grounded and bring balance and joy to my life, which I believe also makes me a better caregiver and educator. I’m excited to continue growing in this field and would love the opportunity to support your family with compassionate, engaging care!
