What drives the price
Most Attleboro families pay somewhere in the $15–$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 babysitter'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 babysitter without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best babysitters on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced babysitters 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 babysitters 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
My name is Wanda Gonzalez and I have been working with children since the age of 17/18. I come from a big family and this is where I developed a love for children. I worked in daycare with infants, toddlers and preschool for over 5 years and have been a nanny for over 15 years. I enjoy going on walks and taking children to all types of activities. Music classes, libraries, museums just to name a few. I am cpr and first aid trained for both adults and pediatrics and I am also fluent in Spanish for those who would like to teach their children a second language.

"Wanda came to work for us when our first son was 3 months old and I was (reluctantly) going back to work. She had experience caring for newborns and eased our worried/conflicted minds - she also taught us a lot along the way. When our second son was born two years later, she took the increased responsibility in stride. She was loving and yet firm with our kids and partnered with us in our attempts to provide structure and discipline in their lives. She also accommodated our request that she speak primarily in Spanish with our kids - to this day, we're proud that one of our older son's first words was "rojo." We were really sad when Wanda stopped nannying for us, which was after five years together and our decision to move out of state. Our kids still have fond memories of Wanda and we have kept in touch over the years. Happy to serve as a reference for Wanda and hope another family finds the good fit with her that we did."

I just finished up my freshman year as a Music Education major at University of Hartford with aspirations to become an elementary school music teacher! I love working with kids, reading, crocheting, and being crafty. I personally have a food allergy, so I am always very aware and cautious about medical needs, whether it be mine or someone else's. I am not yet First Aid or CPR trained, but am looking to get trained and certified ASAP!
