What drives the price
Most Redondo Beach families pay somewhere in the $17–$33/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 babysitter'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
| 1 kid (baseline) | $25.50 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$26.50 |
| 3+ kids | ~$27.50+ |
03
Hours & schedule
Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.

| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |

Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates

|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $27.39/hr | |

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 am a young woman looking to earn extra income. I currently work at a daycare and have experience with children and babies. I lived in Mexico and worked there for two years, plus I have another year of experience working here in the United States. I love babies and feel comfortable working with them, as well as with children aged 1-3 years old. I speak Spanish fluently, and I also speak English at about a 70% proficiency level. I would like to work on weekends in the mornings, from 7 or 8 AM to 4 or 5 PM. Because I'm on vacation from my regular job, I can work all week from December 26th to January 4th during the same hours. From January 5th onward, I would only be available on weekends.
