What drives the price
Most Green Bay families pay somewhere in the $9–$25/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
| 1 kid (baseline) | $17.22 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$18.22 |
| 3+ kids | ~$19.22+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |

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.

Hello! My name is lisa. I am a single mother who has now turned into a stay at home mother of a 5 yr old boy. I have cared for all ages as my sister has 6 kids of her own she paid me taking care of her kids as she was a head start teacher to now a social worker for Oneida tribe. I was working as a assistant operator for valley packaging, its a lot of hard work on the body and well my youngest being 5 and my older boys being ages 23 and 25 I feel I been missing a lot of my youngest growing up and I want to spend more quality time with him. But still need some type of income continuously. I am in the works of starting my own cleaning business just so I am able to set my own hours and schedule. I love kids! My family and I are very family oriented and always do and go places together whenever we can. I am reliable, caring, cautious and have cared for all ages. I would love for you and the kids to meet my family as well. Before you make a decision yourself

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Gabrielle. I’m 17 years old and recently completed my first year of college in the Early Childhood Education program. I’m already halfway to earning my associate’s degree.
While my age might be unexpected, I’m genuinely passionate about working with children and committed to building a long-term career in this field. I’ve been working in childcare for about a year now, with experience caring for children from 8 weeks to 7 years old — and I absolutely love it.
Let me ask you this: Would you rather hire someone who is truly educated, dedicated, and passionate about early childhood education, or someone who’s simply looking for a side job and sees daycare work as an easy paycheck? I believe children deserve caregivers who are invested in their growth and well-being, and that’s exactly what I bring to the table.
