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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$18.97/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.37/hr
Occasional5–15 hrs/week$18.72/hr
Live-inSet by family$18.63/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 there! My name is Ashley, I’m 24 years old. Received my associates degree at BC earlier this year and transferred to FAU this fall to get my bachelor’s in criminal justice and paralegal studies. My mother has been a preschool teacher for over 15 years now and since it was only her and I growing up I would be in the preschools aftercare programs and summer programs up until I was in middle school where I was then old enough to assist her and other teachers with the children in their classes. I haven’t had much official experience working with children, but I have also babysat children of acquaintances, friends, and family. I’m looking for an occasional babysitting job while I’m still in school.
