What drives the price

Most Cartersville 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 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 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 warm, intuitive nanny who genuinely loves being around little kids. I'm currently studying Birth-to-Five Year old education.

Kids tend to feel comfortable with me right away - I'm playful and goofy when they want to laugh, calm and steady when they need comfort, and patient through all the little moments that come with growing up. I'm great with routines, transitions, and helping children feel confident and understood.

I love creating a cozy, fun environment filled with things I enjoy doing with kids: animated story time, music and dancing, sensory play, crafts, outdoor adventures, and simple early-learning activities that make them feel proud of themselves. I'm reliable, flexible, responsible and respectful of each family's home and parenting style.

My goal is to make each day feel safe, joyful, and full of growth for your child - and to give you the peace of mind that they're with someone who truly cares and shows up with her whole heart.

A little bit about me

My name is Abigail and I’m 17 years old. I’ve been babysitting with my mother since I was a little girl, ranging in ages newborn all the way up to a 4 year old and more. I’ve always had a passion for childcare. My hobbies include arts & crafts, and just creating in general. I also enjoy playing with my families pets. I will be a great fit to babysit your child, I’m patient, fun and have good experience. I do have a license to drive myself to and from. If you need a babysitter that will be able to frequently drop off or pick your children up from activities / run errands I’m unfortunately not the one for you! I can occasionally do such things though. I do best staying in home and taking care of your child there, or activities that are walking distance! I am homeschooled, which means my schedule is VERY flexible! If you have any questions or negotiations about my rate please message me! I am willing to travel longer distances as long as gas is paid! 😊
