What drives the price
Most North Port families pay somewhere in the $13–$23/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.

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! My name is Katelyn and I have over 10 years of babysitting/nannying experience and have become best friends with all the littles I have worked with. I’m the eldest sister of 3 younger siblings, two of which are 11 and 15 years younger than me and where my story all begins. Becoming a built in babysitter was the greatest job I never knew I needed. It gave me a true sense of purpose and gave me a glimpse of what life might be like one day. Over the years, friends and family started asking me to also watch their children and often times I would bring my siblings and watch 4 or 5 kids at once. This really encouraged me, so I began advertising myself to friends of friends and finding my own jobs. I babysat for many families regularly and have always been very reliable and responsible. Being a babysitter/nanny is such a rewarding and fulfilling job and I’d love to be part of your story.

Hi my names Haley a 21 year old
I’ve been taking care of Kids since I was 15.
My mom’s friend would take them home and I would be responsible for their food in activities. Including my brother who’s currently 9yrs I would take care of him since my mom brought him home I would change his dipper, I would shower him I would prepare everything etc. while my mom would go to work I would stay with my grandma she was also a help. I have a 1year old sister that I’ve been taking care of as all of us as a family have, she’s the main responsibility since that day I loved taking care of kids, I would provide anything I need to for me. Having a connection with your child it’s a top because I want nothing but that best for him/her.
