What drives the price
Most Baltimore families pay somewhere in the $15–$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 part-time 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 part-time nanny without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best part-time nannies on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced part-time 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 part-time 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 would describe myself as kind, patient, and caring. I naturally create a warm and safe environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I’m responsible, gentle, and understanding, and I always try to treat every child with kindness and respect. I enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, laugh, and feel cared for. I’m also dependable, attentive, and willing to help however I can to make parents feel confident and at ease while their children are in my care. I have experience caring for many children of different ages, including babies, toddlers, and infants through helping with my siblings, step-siblings, cousins, and other family members. Because of this, I’m comfortable with keeping children safe, entertained, cared for, and supported throughout the day.
