What drives the price

Most Corvallis families pay somewhere in the $15–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

02

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.

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I'm a student at Oregon State University with a passion for working with children. I've been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old, giving me years of experience caring for kids of all ages. Growing up in a large family, I've always been surrounded by children and naturally took on the role of entertaining, teaching, and caring for my younger relatives.

In addition to childcare, I've worked as a math tutor for several years, helping students build confidence in subjects ranging from Algebra to AP Calculus. My experience has taught me patience, effective communication, and the ability to adapt to each child's unique learning style and personality.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about our nanny. As a first-time mom returning to work, handing off my son’s care was a huge emotional step, but she made the transition completely seamless. From day one, I felt 100% safe and confident leaving him in her hands, allowing me to go to work with zero worry. She is exceptionally attentive, caring, and active with him. She takes him on multiple long walks every day, prioritizes outdoor time, and keeps him so thoroughly engaged. The bond they have is undeniable, his face lights up with a giant smile every single time she walks through the door, and he absolutely adores her. On top of being an incredible caregiver, she goes above and beyond with our home environment. Even if the house is already clean, she somehow leaves it looking better than she found it. We are moving and I only wish we could take her with us. Anyone who hires her will be unbelievably lucky to have her!"

Hi, my name is Haya! I’ve been working with children for the past 4 years, both through babysitting and at a local summer school program. There, I guided students through arts, STEM, and cooking activities. I supervised groups throughout the day, and helped ensure everything ran smoothly.
I speak 3 languages, which had been a great way to connect with kids from different backgrounds. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and fun. I enjoy planning activities that keep kids engaged, whether it’s being creative, exploring outdoors, or helping with homework.
I am comfortable helping kids get ready in the mornings, guiding routines like bedtime, planning meals, and supporting them throughout the day. Safety is always my top priority.
I look forward to getting to know your family and making your child’s time with me both safe and enjoyable
