Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $27.77/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $28.36/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $28.85/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $27.42/hr |
Part-time and full-time hourly rates are similar here — short schedules don't always command a premium when full-time openings are easy to fill.
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 babysitter.

Tips to find a great babysitter without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best babysitters on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced babysitters 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 babysitters 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’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) with extensive experience working with children and families, and I’ve spent years as a nanny and educational assistant in high‑profile households. I have a strong background supporting children of all abilities, including those with special needs, and I’m trained in trauma-informed care, ABA strategies, and play‑based learning.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel with families and provide consistent, compassionate care in both home and school settings. I have my own car and can provide reliable transportation for activities, appointments, or errands. I come from an upper‑class background and understand the professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail that families expect.
I’m currently back in Los Angeles and looking for meaningful work where I can combine my clinical expertise and love for teaching to support children’s growth and happiness.

I love playing with kids and keeping them active! If they’re into sports, I’d be more than happy to cheer them on at their games or even help them practice. I’m also happy to do a quick interview or FaceTime call beforehand so we can get to know each other.
