What drives the price
Most South Jordan families pay somewhere in the $12–$26/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
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.

I love being around kids because they always have the best energy and are the sweetest beings. I grew up with 9 siblings so I know a bit about how to tend and care for others and how to correctly. I love to cook and clean and have as much as fun with the kiddos as they let me. I am always told I will be a wonderful mom one day and if that dosent say enough I don’t know what does!
