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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$21.20/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.79/hr
Occasional5–15 hrs/week$18.94/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.06/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 arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. 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.

Recent reference

"Alejandra has been my go-to nanny for years and has cared for my three children, now 8, 4, and 3, since they were babies. I trust her completely and always feel comfortable knowing my kids are with her. She is caring, patient, responsible, and very attentive. What I love most is that she truly spends time with them. She plays board games, does activities, teaches them new things, and keeps them engaged. She knows how to be playful and fun while also being calm and firm when needed. My kids love Alejandra and are always happy to see her. She understands each of their personalities and has been wonderful with them through every age and stage. She is still the first person I call when I need a nanny, and I would gladly recommend her to any family."
