What drives the price

Most Duluth families pay somewhere in the $11–$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.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child
Hourly rate by number of kids

Hours & schedule

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.

Hi! I’m Gracie Jensen. I am from Elk River, and finishing my third year at University of Minnesota-Duluth, studying Exercise Science & Rehabilitation, with the intent of being an Athletic Trainer. 👩🏽‍⚕️🐶

I have 2 years of nanny experience, with up to 3 kiddos. I am also on my 6th year of coaching gymnastics from all ages between 1yo and 17yo. I also have 8+ years of babysitting experience, including my two nieces (6yo & 3yo) and nephew (1yo). I love being outdoors and avoiding screen time as much as possible. But I am also open to just a relaxing day at home. 👯‍♀️☀️🌈

I’m super relaxed and fun. My past families have used words such as, creative, exciting, understanding, fun, and patient. I am very flexible with hours and occasional date nights as well! 😁

I have drivers license, a clean driving record, with a reliable car, and CPR/First Aid Certifications.
