What drives the price

Most Cheyenne families pay somewhere in the $10–$24/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

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 a dependable, energetic, and compassionate caregiver who truly loves spending time with kids. I have experience working at a preschool for about a year and have spent several years nannying two of my younger cousins. Whether we're playing outside, getting creative with crafts, reading stories, or helping with homework, I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I treat every child with the same patients, kindness, and care that I would want for my own family, and I'd love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!

Hi, I’m Angelique! I’m a caring, dependable, and outgoing person who genuinely loves working with kids. I have an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and several years of childcare experience. I love getting to know each child’s personality and becoming someone they feel safe, comfortable, and excited to spend time with. I’m very hands-on and enjoy crafts, reading, playing outside, trips to the park, and finding fun little adventures rather than relying on screen time. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my fiancé and our animals. I’m a huge animal lover, love being outdoors, and show my Silken Windhound in my free time! I’m hoping to find a family I can build a genuine, long-term relationship with and become a trusted part of their everyday routine. 🤍
