What drives the price
Most Wyoming families pay somewhere in the $12–$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
| 1 kid (baseline) | $17.17 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$18.17 |
| 3+ kids | ~$19.17+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |
| Last-minute | +$3–5/hr |

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 Aariona, and I’m 18 years old (turning 19 in March). I have about three years of hands-on childcare experience working at my aunt’s daycare, where I helped care for children of different ages. During that time, I assisted with daily routines, learning activities, meal times, nap schedules, and creating a safe, fun environment for the kids.
I’m currently in school studying to become a teacher because I truly love working with children and being a positive role model in their lives. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and very attentive to children’s needs. I enjoy helping with homework, planning creative activities, and keeping kids engaged in ways that are both fun and educational.
I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, loving care for your child(ren)!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Danielle. They said to keep this short and sweet so here we go! I am 31 years old and have been working in childcare facilities and in homes as a nanny since I was 19 years old. I’ve worked with all age groups from 3 months to 16 years of age. I have recently decided to go back to school for teaching. I also just had a baby girl this past summer that is now 11 months old. I am hoping to find a job where I could bring her along with me so she could have a little more social development but also I’m not quite ready for her to be in a childcare facility until she’s able to talk. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and have a blessed day :)
