What drives the price

Most Statesboro families pay somewhere in the $8–$21/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)$14.12
2 kids~$15.12
3+ kids~$16.12+

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$15.27/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.81/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! I’m Emma! I’ve been officially babysitting for about 6 years (so since I was roughly 15), but unofficially I’ve been babysitting since I was 12! I grew up with three younger sisters and lots of cousins, so I’ve been getting experience for a long time! I don’t have a piece of paper that says I’m CPR certified, but I’ve been working in healthcare for the last 4 years, and child development for many more years before that, so I know how to do all those kinds of things. Currently I’m working as a certified pharmacy technician, but I miss the work I used to do with children specifically. I babysit now just for fun! Before I worked in healthcare, I worked in a before and after school program with kids grade Pre-K through 8th. I mostly worked with Preschoolers at that time. I also did extensive work in classrooms during high school with various age groups.
