What drives the price
Most East Flatbush families pay somewhere in the $16–$35/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

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.

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.

"Maddy is reliable and communicates very efficiently. She is gentle, caring, and attentive with my children and is always open to any task I may present to her. She listens carefully and takes the time to understand my children’s needs, strengths, and limitations. I trust her completely with my kids at parks and swimming pools because she has learned what they can and cannot do, as well as any dietary restrictions they may have.
I really liked that she approaches responsibilities with patience and a positive attitude and consistently shows a willingness to learn and take initiative when needed. She is organized, responsible, and works well under pressure while maintaining a calm and caring demeanor."

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Soraya! One thing about me is that I never really have to try to connect with children. Somehow, I end up on the floor playing with them, listening to their stories, laughing at things only they find funny, and getting just as excited about their little activities as they are. I love the imagination, honesty, and happiness children bring, and being around that energy brings out the most playful side of me. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I believe children should feel heard, respected, and free to be themselves. I’m currently studying psychology, and I’d love to be someone a child feels safe with and is genuinely happy to see.
