What drives the price

Most Fayetteville families pay somewhere in the $8–$29/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

Hi! My name is Ayanna. I'm 17 years old, a recent high school graduate, and currently a college student studying Psychology with the goal of becoming a Child Psychologist. Since my classes are fully online, I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week.
I've always loved working with children! I started by babysitting for friends and family before working my way up to a management position at an amusement park, where I interacted with children and families every day. After the company closed, I realized how much I missed caring for kids and decided to return to childcare.
I have experience mentoring elementary-aged students, working with children with special needs through school activities, and I'm happy to help with homework, learning activities, and tutoring. I'm a bubbly, patient, dependable person who loves creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I can't wait to meet your family!
