What drives the price
Most Sherman families pay somewhere in the $8–$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.

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
I am a stay at home mom that has been in childcare, along with several references. My son is 18 months old. We have a playroom, a play area in living room, and outside activities. I am very active and we are always on the move and having fun. I have some Early Education courses completed through Collin College. My son and I have daily activities such as reading, going on walks(he loves riding in his wagon), playing in his playroom, and we spend a lot of time outside. He is very good with others and pets, we have 3 dogs. We have a structured schedule each day for activities and nap time. I could follow how you would like your daily routine and nap time for your child. I would provide the best care and give you daily reports, if needed.

A little bit about me
I have chosen to take on a caregiver role most of my life as a career and in my personal life. I am a previous licensed foster parent with the State of Texas. I have many hours of training in child growth and development through Texas A&M Extension AgriLife Services, The Department of Family and Protective Services, and FEMA. I have experience providing care for children infant to teenage years. I am certified in pediatric and child/adult CPR and First Aid. I have a holistic approach to caring for children. The thing I love most about working with children is helping them unlock their potential. I am a firm believer in allowing children to explore their curiosity, keeping them busy with fun activities and games that help them develop, and allowing them the opportunity to ask questions and learn. Patience and understanding are key factors in my approach to caring for children. I am a mother of a beautiful and smart four-year-old daughter.

"Ashley watched my two children during the summer and school year. She was on time, professional, and put me completely at ease. Her personality comes across as warm, kind, and extremely caring. Highly recommend! She went above and beyond to help with our morning routines, help with their homework and prepared after school snacks. They always said the time she spent with them was fun, as she often did crafts and projects with them. She made my life so much easier!"

I am a fun, caring and kind individual. I am an only child but have been around kids in some capacity my entire life. I am organized and crafty and enjoy dancing in my spare time. I have a love for all kids with all different kinds of needs. Last summer I participated in an internship where I worked with children diagnosed with autism. I have several years of babysitting experience as well. You could rest assured knowing that your child is in the care of someone who will take care of your child in the highest manner.
