What drives the price

Most Salt Lake City families pay somewhere in the $9–$25/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 part-time 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 part-time nanny without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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 there, I'm Maya!

I've been working in childcare for about four years, with experience caring for children ages 2–12. Before this school year, I was a full-time preschool teacher for ages 3–5, and I currently work with 5th and 6th graders in the mornings.

I'm finishing up my final year of college as an online student, which gives me flexibility during the day.

I'm looking for a kind, welcoming family to nanny for on weekday afternoons and occasional weekends as I complete my studies. I value a professional, respectful working relationship — I work best with set hours and a written contract upon hire, and I believe clear expectations make for a happy, stable arrangement for everyone.

I'd love the chance to bring my experience, patience, and care to your family.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Daniele Castro, 20 years old, with experience in hospitality, security, food service, and childcare. As the oldest of three siblings raised by a single mother, I helped care for my younger siblings growing up, which taught me patience and how to keep kids safe and engaged. I've also worked two jobs at once for much of the past few years, so I know how to manage my time, stay punctual, and handle responsibility without letting anything slip. I stay calm under pressure, keep a positive attitude, and take real pride in being a dependable presence for the kids I care for.

Hi I’m Matti. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for taking care of those around me. My first job was a lifeguard and I immediately discovered I loved being around children. I have taken 3 years of childhood education in my high school and I have absolutely loved teaching children. When I am around family I am always the designated babysitter! I hope to find a family I can work with whether it’s only for the summer or long term as well. In the future I hope to go into child education. Side note I loveeeeee dogs so that would not be an issue.
