Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $16.43/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $16.09/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $16.41/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $16.19/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 am certified in Infant, Child and Adult First Aid and CPR through Red Cross as of 2026. I have a year of babysitting experience as a teenager and years as a stay at home Mom.
I am passionate about working with children and have a passion for teaching. I believe children learn best through play and are capable of so much more than they are often given credit for. I am starting my student teaching this Fall four hours a day, two days a week. I am looking for a work schedule that allows me to successfully pursue my teaching degree.
Some of my favorite books are Whole Brain Child by Tina Bryson/ Daniel Siegel, and the Montessori Method. I also love the work from the Institute of Child Psychology as there is a focus on child developmental and emotional well being.
