What drives the price

Most Kaysville 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 babysitter'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 babysitter without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best babysitters on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced babysitters 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 babysitters 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 Katelyn! I’m 22 years old, but I signed up for nanny lane when I was 18 and worked for a beautiful family with 2 kids and a baby. I have a letter of recommendation from them if you would like. I worked for them for a few months before college and a few months after the semester ended. I then left for my 18 month mission in Portland, OR, came home in August of 2023, started school at USU again, and now I’m living in Provo again and I’m studying Family and Human Services online. I work full time as a Psychiatric Technician at the state hospital on the teen girls unit, working with girls receiving psychiatric care ages 12-17. I’d love to occasionally babysit in the evenings!
