What drives the price
Most Corona families pay somewhere in the $17–$30/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
Hi! My name is JaNeil I have over 20+ years of experience as a nanny. Even though I was raised as an only child I never felt that way. I grew up helping my mom run a licensed in-home daycare. It has taught me to be the patient, empathetic and caring individual I am today. Since then I've gone on to work in the children's department at Nordstrom where I mastered the art of stroller folding. The past 4 years I have continued to work for the City's parks department over seeing Kids and Teen programming. I am very reliable, responsible and you can depend on me to take excellent care of your loved ones.

I currently also work at Trader Joe’s and have been there since I was 16. I grew up around young kids since my family owned a pre-school/child care company. Now my life is filled with lots of nieces and nephews running around. My down time is filled with reading, being at the beach, and spending time with my boyfriend and our dog Bunker! He’s a golden retriever and keeps me on my toes.
