What drives the price
Most Gresham families pay somewhere in the $16–$28/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
I’m currently in high school, which is upcoming senior. During my summer break I want to work as a babysitter because I love being with kids. I completed child development classes and cadet teaching. The teachers and staffs were trusted me a lot especially with infants and toddlers, so they send mostly to the infants and toddlers rooms to help them.
