What drives the price

Most St. George families pay somewhere in the $9–$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 full-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.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
Hourly rate by number of kids

3+ kids~$19.04+

03

Hours & schedule

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

Tips to find a great full-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best full-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced full-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 full-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! I’m Dawnielle, I also go by Dee:) I am a registered nurse with a passion for caring for children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16, and growing up with two brothers who have special needs taught me patience, compassion, and adaptability from a young age.

During nursing school, I work a gym daycare center and babysat for a few families. Majority of my time during nursing school I worked as a full-time nanny for a family with a newborn and two young children in Las Vegas. Since then, I’ve gained additional experience caring for children through pediatric home health nursing. My husband and I moved to St. George about a month ago, and I’m excited to find a wonderful local family to support.

I strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children and am happy to help with light housekeeping, homework, and daily routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!

A little bit about me

I'm the third of six kids, and I'm the oldest girl, so growing up, I enjoyed babysitting my siblings a lot! I've also babysat for extended family and neighbors when they go on vacation, for up to a week at a time. I've been certified in CPR multiple times and grew up raising livestock to earn money. I've never had a dog, but I'm comfortable with indoor pets if they are well trained. I just finished my second year at BYU and am home just for the summer to save money and gain work experience! I would be happy to meet you and answer any questions you have!
