What drives the price

Most Poinciana families pay somewhere in the $13–$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 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)$17.08
2 kids~$18.08
3+ kids~$19.08+

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.

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$17.65/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.27/hr

Part-time often runs higher per hour than full-time. Short, fragmented schedules are harder for nannies to fill alongside other jobs, so the per-hour rate compensates.

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 there,

My name is Maria, and I bring over 10 years of experience in childcare, caring for children from newborns to 23 years old. I recently relocated to Kissimmee, FL from North Carolina, where I helped my sister care for her six boys (five of her own and one adopted nephew).

At 46 years old, I am a mature, fun-loving, and responsible individual who genuinely enjoys working with children. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children in various states, which has allowed me to develop a versatile approach to childcare. I am passionate about watching each child grow and develop their unique personalities, and I am dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment.

Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. I look forward to potentially working with your family and contributing to your child’s growth and happiness.

Best regards,
Maria Mercado
