What drives the price

Most Reno 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 part-time 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.

10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)

Tips to find a great part-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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

Hi my name is Julia Donovan, I am a student at University of Nevada, Reno and about to graduate. While I am excited to graduate and take my next step in life I have realized that I haven’t had a lot of time to enjoy the city so after graduating I desire to live here at least for another year or two to save up and relax before making moves to set up the rest of my life.

I have worked with kids in every way since I was 18, working as an After school leader for the YMCA, at the child care center at UNR, babysitting kids in the area, and volunteering at the kid’s ministry in my local church. (I also have pet and house sat as well)

I am now looking for part time/full time nanny positions and would love to meet and chat if you would like to! Feel free to message me at any time. Thanks, Julia.
