What drives the price

Most Spanish Fork families pay somewhere in the $10–$22/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
Hourly rate by number of kids
1 kid (baseline)$15.58
2 kids~$16.58
3+ kids~$17.58+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by schedule
Weekday 9–5 (standard)
Evening/weekend+$2–4/hr
Last-minute+$3–5/hr

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.

Full-time, part-time, and live-in nanny rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$15.88/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$16.59/hr

Part-time often runs higher per hour than full-time. Short, fragmented schedules are harder for nannies to fill alongside other jobs, so the per-hour rate compensates.

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 there!

My name is Maddie! I am a warm and compassionate caregiver with 10 years of experience! One thing about me is I am also a mom! I have two boys. A two year old and 4 month old would accompany me. My two year old is used to spending time with other children and I have found that having him along side me really enriches the dynamic especially if you're little ones enjoy playmates!

If you're looking for someone with a professional and fun experience with empathy I'd love to see if we might be the right fit for you and your family!

I’m looking to nanny until the end of October!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Tristana! I am an experienced child caregiver in Spanish Fork, UT. I have worked with children of all ages, most often with neurodivergent children and children with disabilities. I spent some time in the special education field and am one class away from finishing my degree in family services. My husband and I live in Spanish Fork with our toddler daughter, so I am searching for a position in which I could bring her along as a playmate. I have also spent time as a dental assistant and 6 years as an optometric technician specializing in pediatric and family care. I am looking for a position for a few hours per week, and am available for meal prep and light housekeeping while providing childcare. In my free time, I love creating music, cooking, painting, crocheting, and traveling!

A little bit about me

I am a 75 year old "young at heart" woman who has raised ten children of my own and I have always loved seeing the world through a child's eyes. I am seeking a position as a part time live-out Nanny in or near Spanish Fork, Utah. I recently remarried and had to say goodbye to a wonderful family for whom I was a live-in Nanny for almost four years. I was a live-out Nanny with another lovely family for almost ten years before that. I love children and would really like to do some part-time nannying in the area close to me.
No family would ever regret having me care for their precious children. 😊
