Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $21.67/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $20.55/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $22.49/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21.15/hr |
Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.
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.

Hi,
I'd love to work for you and your family. I’m a 55 years old woman who loves being around children because their curious minds always amaze me. I’ve had quite many experiences with infants, toddlers and school aged kids. I surely can help with house chores as well while still maintaining the safety and fun environment of the children.
I drive my own car with its insurance, and have a valid driver’s license without any bad records. My recent background check is cleared also.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi families!
My name is Angie and I am a 22 year old nanny with over five years of experience caring for children. I have been a long-term nanny for two families, one pair of sisters for two and a half years, and a set of brothers for three years. I hold a bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics and am hopeful to pursue a future career as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Outside of school and work, you can find me outdoors nearly all the time. I love reading a good book on the beach, taking a hike to a waterfall, or camping in the redwoods. That being said, I am passionate about outdoor play for children, hands-on learning, and interactive developmental play. I believe the best philosophy to growth is learning by doing.
I am excited to connect with you all and look forward to lend a helping hand!

A little bit about me
Hello!! I currently work as a paraprofessional substitute at elementary schools, and I've been a full-time nanny for a year with over three years of babysitting experience. I've also cared for my special-needs younger sister for as long as I can remember, and she's truly the reason I'm so passionate about helping families and supporting children of all abilities. I understand how important it is to find trustworthy, reliable care.
I have open availability - my school position is temporary and completely flexible - so it will never interfere with the care you need. I'm actively looking for a full-time nanny position, but until then, I'm available anytime you need a sitter.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a phone chat. Thank you for considering me to care for your little one(s) and your home. :)
