What drives the price
Most Mansfield families pay somewhere in the $11–$20/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

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.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a graduate from a performing arts school, and I have alot of experience taking care of children as I have been an off and on babysitter for years. I have done over night babysitting, light house work, cooking, and I have also house sat for several days for family's with pets to take care of them while the family was on vacation. I have brief but very good experience being a sunday school teachers assistant, and a Sunday school room aid at different churches as I have traveled and moved over the years. I was briefly a camp counselor for a church summer camp when I was 21. It was a great learning experience. I love working with children and am very saftey cautious and have alot of structure and patience. I am very passionate about honesty, integrity, and maintaining a professional attitude while also having fun. Also I don't drink or smoke at all🥰
