What drives the price

Most Grayson families pay somewhere in the $10–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

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 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.

Good afternoon Adam’s family and Maya!!!! My name is Re’Niya Borders, I am a 20 year old female. I love to be active and I’ve always worked with kids due to the joy of being around them and me becoming a big sister at 10 years old. My sister is autistic so I feel I have more patience and I am very understanding. My mom is a sheriff so I take in to account everything that I do. I aspire to be a Doula so I am working on saving up so I can go to school. I work part time at Amazon at the moment. I hope to meet you all .
