What drives the price
Most New Braunfels families pay somewhere in the $10–$35/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! I’m Niki 😊 I’m 26 and originally from Argentina, currently living in Texas.
I’ve been working as an au pair in the U.S. for the past two years, taking care of kids from 6 months to 9 years old. I really enjoy spending time with children and creating a calm, fun, and safe environment for them. I like doing simple things like playing outside, arts and crafts, or just helping them with their daily routines.
I’d describe myself as patient, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I think it’s really important to build trust with both kids and parents, and I always try to be someone families can rely on.
Right now I’m looking for a consistent position with a family where I can help and be part of their daily life.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Paola. I’m 22 years old and originally from a small country town in Florida. My fiancé and I recently moved to Texas, where he is originally from. I am a licensed cosmetologist with a strong passion for caring for others and creating a positive, nurturing space.
My mother has been my greatest inspiration in many ways. Growing up watching her balance a successful career while being an incredible, hands-on mom to my younger brother and me taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency. That experience shaped my natural nurturing instincts and love for children.
While I may not have formal nanny experience yet, I genuinely adore little ones and am highly motivated to learn. I am more than willing to obtain any certifications required and take the initiative to grow in this role. I am reliable, caring, and excited about the opportunity to support a family and provide attentive, loving care. I would love the chance to get to know you and your family better!

"She’s wonderful with children. She’s friendly, warm, compassionate, organized and runs my daughter’s household seamlessly. She straightens the house, picks up the girls after school, cooks dinner, bathes and gets them ready for bed. They do crafts together and do homework and watch movies. She’s basically a modern day “ Mary Poppins”!"

My name is Courtney. I am looking for a few children. I have 13 years experience working in preschool and have children of my own, so I am very qualified and capable. If you hire me I will take the kids to do different things around town so they are not just home all day. Please message me if you’re interested in me watching your children. Must be comfortable with me driving your children around, as I am a stay at home. Mom and my daughter is homeschooled. I do have to drive her around two different classes during the week.
