What drives the price

Most Corning families pay somewhere in the $16–$22/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

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’ve been around kids all my life. I have a younger sister, my mother works with deaf kids who also have other disabilities, and now have 4 god sons ages 1, 5, 7 and 9. I also have a ton of animals if that counts. I like to cook, play games (board and video), I’d rather hang out outside and go on field trip adventures rather than stay in and watch tv, even though I like doing that too.
I’m 23 years old, I have a full time job as an assistant manager, but would like to get out of that job asap. I have a car and am very reliable.
