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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$18.05/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$16.84/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.49/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 here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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 have over 8 years of babysitting experience working with children of all ages. I also work with children with autism every day, which has helped me develop strong patience and communication skills. I am caring, dependable, and enjoy helping children learn and grow. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child. I enjoy engaging children in activities such as games, reading, crafts, and outdoor play. I am comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping children on schedule. Working closely with children has taught me how to be flexible and understanding of each child’s unique needs. My goal is to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

A little bit about me

Hi there,

My name is Sarala and I am 19 years old, a sophomore in college, an eldest sibling, ethnically Indian, and Homeschool educated. I attend Agnes Scott College as a commuter student with my own car. I am also First Aid/CPR/AED certified through the American Red Cross program at my university. Childcare has been a natural component of my upbringing. I am looking for a childcare opportunity to help pay for tuition, and I consider myself very relational, creative, and capable of firmness (to ensure well-being and safety). I love nourishing innocence and wonder in kids as tech-free as possible. If I am a good fit for your kid(s), I would love to help you and build trust, ensuring that your most precious treasures are kept safe - your children.
