What drives the price
Most Marysville families pay somewhere in the $17–$35/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) | $23.54 |

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.

"Jazemine was our nanny for two years, and we can't recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, in two years, she almost never missed a day, and if she ever needed time off, she planned it out with us well in advance so we were never caught off guard.
She's also wonderfully flexible. Whenever we needed her to come early, stay late, or switch days around, she made it work without hesitation.
What sets Jazemine apart, though, is how much she became part of our family. Our boys say they love her, and see her as an auntie or grandmother figure. She cooked meals for them, took them on outings, and even helped out around the house with things like laundry and dishes.
We are only letting her go due to a change in our financial situation, not because of anything lacking in her work. Any family would be lucky to have her and we are truly devastated to have to let her go."

A little bit about me
I'm a mom to 3 adult children & Nana to 3 adorable granddaughters. Family means the world to me. We are all very close.
I love the outdoors (just returned from a family camping trip to the rainforest) & exploring in the neighborhood or chilling at home with a good book. I have an 11 year old dog & 3 year old cat.
I believe every moment is a learning experience & I learn as much from your children as they do from me.. I'm an on the floor kind of Nanny. Your children are treated as if the were my grandbabies. Free play is just as important as organized activities & I believe in child led play & experiences. All my past nanny children have called me Nana (as do my own grandchildren) & I have remained close to all of them. My longest family has sleep overs with my granddaughters, they are like cousins. This isn't "just a job" to me. We are a team.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Melissa. I’m 21 years old and currently a college student. I recently stepped away from my job as a nail tech to focus more on school, and I’m now hoping to find a family who can work with my class schedule each quarter.
While I don’t have paid childcare experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for younger relatives, and I’ve always loved being around kids. I’m a very creative person and enjoy crafts, games, and anything playful—I even collect toys myself, so keeping kids entertained comes naturally to me!
I know every child has their rebellious moments, but I’m patient, sweet, and confident in my ability to connect with kids and help them listen without turning things into a battle. I’m excited for the chance to support a family, learn, and grow in a childcare role.

I love kids! I have been a private nanny for over ten years, worked in a private daycare for three years, and a child development center for one year. I am old enough to provide responsible care and still young enough to keep up with your little ones! My work at an agency for adults with disabilities provided me with experience in a classroom setting, I will never run out of activities! I also have experience working with children and adults of all different abilities. I enjoy sharing my love of arts, culture, music and nature with little ones.
