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.
Experience
Number of kids
| 1 kid (baseline) | $18.49 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$19.49 |
| 3+ kids | ~$20.49+ |
Hours & schedule

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.97/hr | See full-time rates → |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $17.74/hr | See part-time rates → |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.52/hr | See live-in rates → |
Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.
Live-in arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. The trade-off is space — you'll need a private bedroom and ideally a separate bathroom for the nanny.

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
I'm a firm believer in actually playing with and connecting with the kids I'm watching, meaning they will not be stuck in front of the tv!! they will learn to use their imagination and play games and do crafts and grow in a healthy environment!
I have lots of experience working with special needs children. my sister has epilepsy and cerebral palsy as well a a few learning disabilities. I've spent hours helping calm her after tantrums and caring for her. I am very well equipped to deal with all kinds of meltdowns and tantrums without raising my voice. rather by the art of distraction and genuinely talking to them on their level.
