What drives the price
Most Haverhill families pay somewhere in the $15–$30/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.

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
After being in the hair industry for 10 years I’m needing a change. I’ve always wanted to work with kids since my younger siblings were born and I helped my parents as much as they needed with them. I love to be outside, and crafts are also always a favorite of mine. I am hoping to find a family that this aligns with well. Keeping littles busy can be hard, but the less screens the better is my belief. Im active, pay attention to detail, and I don’t mind helping out around the house to keep cleaned up after the kids!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Allison. I am a mom of three and a stepmom of one. I was a nanny for many years prior to having my own kids. Once I had my own kids, I was a stay-at-home mom. From there I worked in schools working with children and teenagers, many of which had special needs. I love working with children and helping them learn. I am confident in my knowledge and communication skills when working with children.
