What drives the price

Most Bartlett families pay somewhere in the $14–$22/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.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Elise Perkins, and I’m 24 years old. I have been babysitting for 4 years and have experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to 8 years old. I also worked in a school for 5 years, which gave me valuable experience working with children and understanding their individual needs.
I am CPR and First Aid/AED certified, and I truly enjoy spending time with babies and children. One of the most rewarding parts of childcare for me is watching the children I care for grow, learn, and become confident and independent. I strive to create a safe, caring, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.
In addition to caring for the children, I’m happy to help with light cleaning and tidying around the home while I’m there. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about providing families with reliable and loving childcare.
