What drives the price

Most Perrysburg families pay somewhere in the $11–$20/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 child care provider'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 child care provider without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care 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 child care 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.

Hello! I’m Hailey, I graduated from high-school last year and I have a passion for caring for others. I’ve been volunteering at nursing homes since the age of 4, I’ve been part time babysitter for my little sister since she was born when I was 8 with my mom every step of the process, I’ve cared for her day after day, year after year, and I truly believe no one is better with children than I am. I’m empathetic on account of the fact that I’ve had many losses in my life and I can truly understand how others are feeling, especially how frustrating or scary the world can be for our littles. I am an animal lover as well, I have a chihuahua and a beagle so I’m no stranger to a couple pets. I cannot wait to hear from you!
