What drives the price

Most Laramie families pay somewhere in the $12–$25/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.

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 an older mom, but have years of experience & would love to care for your children! My specialty is babies: I have years of experience working in infant rooms in daycares, I miss that one on one time with babies & have had up to five babies alone, so they worry me not in the least! I know how hard it is to leave your child in capable hands and to trust, but that is also a huge part of my favorite job: building that trust with the families and helping the children to grow and thrive in the most positive way possible. With time I see the children as my own family & get just as excited with their milestones as their own families! This is the greatest joy from a job such as this: to give trust, comfort and love to all in the family, so there’s no need for worry about their greatest treasure. Parents need to know their children are safe, secure, sound & being well taken care of, that’s my goal in a job such as this. Your child is your most precious to you in life!
