What drives the price
Most Statesville families pay somewhere in the $7–$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.

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 Addie, and I recently graduated from Appalachian State University. I've been a nanny throughout both high school and college, and caring for children has always been something I truly enjoy. I love building meaningful relationships with families and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and be themselves. In addition to nannying, I volunteer as a cheer coach at Lake Norman High School, where I have the opportunity to mentor and encourage young athletes. Family is incredibly important to me, and I have two nieces and two nephews who I love with everything in me. They have brought so much joy to my life and have made my passion for working with children even stronger. I am dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate, and I would love the opportunity to care for your family!

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Chloe McDaniels. I am currently studying at North Carolina State University to become an elementary teacher. Working with children is truly my passion. I have been involved with kids since I was around 13 years old, and I have been fortunate enough to work with underprivileged children since I was 17. They have helped me discover my purpose in life, and now I am on a full scholarship at NCSU, pursuing my dream. I refer to the children I care for as "my kids" because I genuinely care for them as if they were my own. I am super reliable, honest, optimistic, and I love being outdoors.

A little bit about me
Hi, I am Bridgette, a 22 year old, who attends App State online with a major in nutrition and a minor in child development. I have worked two years in child care previously, but I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. After high school, I was a full-time babysitter for a family with four kids. The youngest was on the spectrum, so I am comfortable and experienced with caring for special needs children as well. Most recently, I was a part-time nanny for a family with a 6 month old and a 6 year old. I have paid all my tuition for school out of pocket so far, but I am looking to save up as much money as possible to avoid having to take out student loans.
