What drives the price

Most Taylor families pay somewhere in the $12–$22/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

After raising my son and being in the workforce I became caregiver for my elderly parents and then my beautiful Grandnephew when he was born. I have realized that what I am really good at is helping others in their home and family so they can pursue their careers while being confident that their children and home are being looked after with care and respect. I believe strongly in educational experiences and also making creative and fun messes. I have described what I do as "Rent a Granny". Drying tears, reading stories, having a little helper while cooking, and guiding through not so helpful behavior. Household chores or pets are not a problem. Grannies don't let dishes pile up! Current in all COVID vaccines and boosters as well as Whooping cough and flu. CPR/FIRST AID Certified.
