What drives the price
Most Delray Beach families pay somewhere in the $13–$35/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
| 1 kid (baseline) | $23.45 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$24.45 |
| 3+ kids | ~$25.45+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

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 Phoebe Warner and I’m from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but now live in Delray Beach, Florida. I have worked with kids for as long as I can remember! I started by taking care of younger siblings and got Red Cross certified in middle school so I could start babysitting and nannying for other families. I’ve worked with children from newborns to teens and love to play games, do crafts, and get outside when we can. I try to be as hands-on as possible when it comes to genuinely interacting with the children and making sure they’re having fun and are safe. Nannying has long been very important to me and something I truly enjoy and look forward to—I always try to make it as fun for all the children as it is for me! On top of having experience with every age group, I also have experience with special needs and neurodivergent children.

Hey everybody 😊
My name is Gami, I’m 24 years old.
I’ve been a dance teacher for the past 4 years, working with all age groups from 3–4 years old up to 16–17.
In addition, I’ve been an aunt to 9 nephews and nieces since I was 7 years old — I’m basically the family’s 24/7 nanny and babysitter, and it’s truly my favorite thing to do!
I have experience caring for newborn babies, and I’ve also worked as a full-time babysitter for a month for four children (ages 1, 5, 7, and 8).
I’ve always had a special ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable and safe. Working with children brings me genuine joy and fulfillment — I truly feel happiest when I’m around kids and babies.
I would truly love the opportunity to care for and look after the most precious part of your life as parents.

A little bit about me
I have worked in the healthcare field for 20 years. I worked with children with all kinds of pathologies in a hospital in my country. After my parents' death, I decided to take care of the elderly, and I have done so for over 10 years. Currently, I want to get back into childcare, since having three grandchildren and helping with their care awakened in me the need to take care of children again and help their parents lead a more peaceful life, knowing their children are well cared for and in good hands.

Hi! My name is Sabrina, and I have over 4 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants as young as 6 months to kids up to 12 years old. I’ve worked as both a nanny and babysitter, providing reliable and nurturing care tailored to each child's unique needs. In addition to my in-home childcare experience, I’ve also worked as an aftercare counselor, helping to create a safe, fun, and structured environment for school-aged children.
I hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) certification, which has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development and best practices in childcare. I’m passionate about creating engaging activities, encouraging learning through play, and ensuring your child’s safety and well-being at all times.
