What drives the price

Most Vero Beach families pay somewhere in the $13–$30/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

Number of kids

One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child

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

I’m a kind, reliable, and patient caregiver with years of experience working with children. I’ve worked as both a caregiver and in customer service, which has taught me how to stay calm under pressure and handle any situation with care and compassion.

I was born in Haiti and came to the U.S. in 2014. I’m currently working toward my degree in healthcare, and I truly love helping others — especially children. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and structured environment where kids can grow, learn, and be themselves.

Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or making sure routines stay on track, I’m there to support both the child and the family however I can.

I’m also CPR certified, dependable, and flexible with scheduling. Looking forward to working with a family who values kindness, communication, and trust.

A little bit about me

Hello families! I am more recently a Vero Beach resident, having moved with my own family to sunny Florida from Pennsylvania. My two daughters are now College and High School age. So, I have flexibility during weekdays to lend a hand with your children. I love the chance to have fun, be an active and compassionate caregiver, exposing younger children to learning opportunities all around us, in our community.
I have, and enjoyed, previous experiences aiding in Pre-school enrichment programs and as a lunch/recess aid at the elementary school in my previous town.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, in addition to dance fitness certifications. So, again being safely active, having fun with art, athletics, story time, and especially music, are passions I would love to share.
Being respectful and understanding of your established rules and routines is of great importance.
*Please be aware, while I do not have fear or dislike of pets, I am however, allergic to most of our furry friends.
