What drives the price
Most Snellville families pay somewhere in the $9–$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.

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! I’m a college student majoring in Business Administration and Marketing, and I’m also a substitute teacher. I’ve been subbing for almost four years and have experience working with children from preschool age through high school. I’ve also helped care for my younger cousins over the years, including one who is autistic, and have even traveled with family specifically to help watch the kids. I’m very comfortable with children, dependable, and I take caring for them seriously while still making sure they feel safe and have fun!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Asha. I’m a mom of two amazing children, ages 8 and 5, so caring for kids is truly a part of who I am. I’m very nurturing, patient, hands-on, and big on making sure children feel safe, loved, heard, and comfortable being themselves. I love creating little routines, doing arts and crafts, helping with homework, going on outings, and finding fun ways to make everyday things exciting. I also understand from a parent’s perspective how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your children. I have years of childcare experience along with a healthcare background as a phlebotomist, so I’m comfortable with responsibility and staying calm when things don’t go as planned. I’m looking for a family I can build a genuine relationship with and become a dependable, positive part of their children’s lives.

A little bit about me
I'm a part - time marketing specialist with ample experience caring for young children (I helped raise my younger brother, my niece and have held numerous babysitting jobs throughout my life).
I enjoy spending time with children mainly because I love to learn about all kinds of things along with them and generally approach life with playfulness, curiosity and wonder, much like a child, but with more discernment, shaped by my 35 years of life experience.
I find that children and animals tend to gravitate to me, well, more like we gravitate to each other, maybe because I typically approach life and others with curiosity, peace and love in my heart. I enjoy sharing and employing my fairly extensive knowledge of psychology, mindfulness and spirituality to help others find their way through life's ups and downs. My intention is to consistently show up with genuine kindness, empathy and understanding.
