What drives the price

Most Newburgh families pay somewhere in the $7–$20/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

Hey! As you can see my name is Tori and I am 19 years old. All my life I've had to babysit my cousins and as I grew older I began babysitting my friends kids. I'm very fun but with that I'd love to add I grew up with 4 brothers and me being the only girl so I'm also authoritative and protective. Currently I've been working for an Assisted Living Facilty with mainly dementia residents so you could only imagine my patience. The reason I would love to move forward into Childcare is because I've always felt as if it was my true calling. I would love to go forward with my current employment but management has went downhill since I started over a year ago. I would love to care for your child(ren) and even your fur babies!!
