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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$17.16/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.42/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.92/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.

Recent reference

"I am writing to highly recommend Brittney, who cared for our only child age 12 from 09/01/2025 to 12/30/2025. Brittney consistently went above and beyond, managing daily routines, meal prep, and engaging the kids in enriching, fun activities.What truly sets her apart is her immense patience, warmth, and natural ability to connect with children. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and safety-conscious. We felt complete peace of mind knowing our little ones were in her care. We were only sorry to see her go because she had to move away due to her husband military transfer."
