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
Hourly rate by number of kids
1 kid (baseline)$18.49
2 kids~$19.49
3+ kids~$20.49+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)—
Evening/weekend+$2–4/hr
Last-minute+$3–5/hr

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.97/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.74/hr
Live-inSet by family$17.52/hr

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

My name is Debbi. I am a grown woman who has raised five children of her own. I have worked in many homes in the Grand Rapids area and often spend multiple years with one family not only tending to their children’s needs, but also helping with food prep and house, organization and family time management . I am a psychology, major and love what I do. I have been mostly working with affluent families who value education and adventure and curiosity, and have accepted me into the family as an active paid member versus an employee. I enjoy adventures with the kids I embrace reading with children. I am patient and kind and consistent. I enjoy animals. I do love meal prepping or cooking. I am skilled at organizational tasks and happily will make beds and run laundry for the family. I am not proficient at deep house cleaning most families I work for have a separate person who provides that service. I have spent personal hours of volunteering with new moms who have struggled with postpartum.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a bible college student looking for a job. At my previous position I nannied for a nurse who worked the night shift. I took care of a little boy overnight from 6pm-8am and I loved it so much. eventually she switched to day shift and I got less and less time with him but he still asks for 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.

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)!
