What drives the price

Most St. George families pay somewhere in the $9–$22/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
1 kid (baseline)$16.47
2 kids~$17.47
3+ kids~$18.47+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)
Evening/weekend+$2–4/hr
Last-minute+$3–5/hr

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

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.

Recent reference

"To whom it may concern I am thrilled to recommend Shakira as a nanny. She cared for our three children—our daughter and twin boys—for nearly three years, and during that time, she became an indispensable part of our family. Shakira managed daily routines, including meal prep, schoolwork, and planning creative activities, with remarkable skill and professionalism. She balanced the unique demands of twins while ensuring our daughter also felt supported and loved. Her nurturing approach and ability to keep the children engaged made a lasting impact. Shakira was always reliable, punctual, and communicative. Her warm personality and dedication to our children’s well-being made her a perfect fit for our family. She left us to begin a new chapter in her life after getting married, and while we miss her, we are so happy for her. I wholeheartedly recommend Shakira to any family."
