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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$18.46/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$17.48/hr
Occasional5–15 hrs/week$17.03/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.82/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.

A little bit about me

My dream in life is to be a mom, and I would love nothing more than to be prepared for the day I can make that dream come true. I am 16 and soon going into the military, I have a little sister who is 12 and a wonderful niece that just turned 2. I handle kids often, both during work and during my free time. I can cook and clean, and I love adventures.

I don’t have a super flexible schedule, but with the right long term family, I am 100% willing to get that schedule changed with my job.

-Much love, Kate!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Johana, and I’m an 18-year-old high school student with a strong passion for working with kids. I’ve been at the same job for five years, and while I’ve loved the experience, I’m now looking for something new that lets me connect more personally with families, especially through childcare. I get along with children very well and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I also volunteer within my church to teach the Pre-K little ones. I’ll be attending Oglethorpe University soon on the pre-law track, and I’m excited to bring my responsibility, patience, and strong work ethic into a babysitting role. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!
