What drives the price

Most Ogden families pay somewhere in the $8–$20/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

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

With over a decade of childcare experience, I bring a strong background in early childhood education and hands-on care. I’ve worked in daycares, spent over a year with infants, and two years as a Pre-K teacher. I also served as a paraeducator supporting children with special needs and hold a degree in Early Childhood. In 2014, I volunteered for five months in international orphanages, providing care for individuals from newborns to adults with special needs. I’ve nannied for multiple families and am currently seeking part-time or occasional positions where I can bring my 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, or care for children in my home. I offer a nurturing environment, am happy to assist with light housework, and love planning enriching activities and outings. I previously brought my children to a nanny role, and it was a positive experience for all involved. I look forward to finding a great fit with a new family.
