What drives the price

Most Jackson families pay somewhere in the $10–$35/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)$24.42
2 kids~$25.42
3+ kids~$26.42+

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$25.13/hr
Live-inSet by family$24.78/hr

Live-in rates are close to live-out here — but the package usually still includes room and board, so the all-in cost can be lower than it appears. The trade-off is space — you'll need a private bedroom and ideally a separate bathroom for the nanny.

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 I'm Grace! I am a 22-year-old who just graduated college and will be moving to Jackson Hole June 7th. I've always loved working with kids. I believe being outdoors is a fantastic way for children to grow, be creative, and build confidence. As an Adventure Camp Hiking Instructor, I've taken kids on outdoor trips, teaching them teamwork and how to appreciate nature. I love activities like hiking and exploring parks, and I encourage kids to be active and curious about the world around them.

Safety is my top priority when caring for children. I recently got recertified in CPR and AED and have a strong background in lifeguarding and water safety. I've completed several swim and save tests, so I'm confident in handling emergencies and ensuring a safe environment. I know how to balance fun and safety, allowing kids to enjoy outdoor activities while keeping them protected.

I would describe myself as patient, fun, loving, creative, energetic, and responsible!
