What drives the price
Most Spring Hill families pay somewhere in the $12–$30/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.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
| 1 kid (baseline) | $20.45 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$21.45 |
| 3+ kids | ~$22.45+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |
| Last-minute | +$3–5/hr |
Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates

| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $21.59/hr | See part-time rates → |
Part-time often runs higher per hour than full-time. Short, fragmented schedules are harder for nannies to fill alongside other jobs, so the per-hour rate compensates.

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
For the past 5 years I’ve loved having the privilege of providing children with a safe and fun environment for development and play. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I’m comfortable caring for one or multiple children at a time, and have worked with all ages. I’m comfortable with enforcing household rules and working alongside parents to create a positive environment. I’m comfortable driving and have a car, pets are also welcome! I have my bachelors and spent the last five years as a part time and full time nanny.
I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup, and I'm happy to follow your preferred method. I'm also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and crafts. Ultimately, I aim to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be a friend and a positive influence in your child's life and a reliable support for your family. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your little one!
