What drives the price

Most Jefferson families pay somewhere in the $7–$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.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child

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

Hello!
I am in Jefferson/Winder and am looking for a career now that my kids are older. I am new to the Nanny profession, but I am raising two amazing, intelligent children; ages 12 and 15.

I graduated from UGA in 2003 with a bachelor's in Telecom Production and Journalism. Instead of working, I stayed home with my 2 kids, while working from home for Google for 10 years.

I was a Cub Scout Den Leader for 4 years and substitute teach for JCS; I have had background checks with both. I love babies and children; arts and crafts, reading, learning games, and exploring outside.

I love to cook and meal plan. I am clean, organized, consistent, kind, loyal (2 jobs I stayed at 10+ yrs). I like to stay busy! I am also a rule-follower/people pleaser and will do whatever you ask of me (lol).

I am looking for something stable and long term, 30-40 hours a week, and my ideal hours are between 6AM-4PM, Monday-Saturday. I just would like to be home in the evenings to make dinner for my family.
