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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$20.07/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.73/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.56/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.

A little bit about me

I love working with kids, and I'm currently studying nursing with plans to become a pediatric nurse. I finished my freshman year of college in May and then attended a 10-week school program in Hawaii starting in late August. I will be moving back late January and am looking for a part time nanny job while I do online school. I have been babysitting since 8th grade and continued throughout high school, including nannying during my senior year. I also babysat all throughout my freshman year of college. In addition, I have volunteered at nonprofit childcare organizations and in the childcare program at my local church.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m looking for a live-in nanny position for myself and my 11 month old son. I have a ton of experience with children, even having been a Montessori school assistant.
I would not expect a full $14 an hour, I just put that down in that section because I had to put something. I’m just hoping to find a live-in position that includes a stipend that reflects having a room factored in with the workload. I have even more experience cleaning house and am not a terrible cook lol. I am very health-conscious as far as diet and exercise and would impart this sort of knowledge onto the little ones. I have spent about 10 years living in Hawaii. I’m currently in California but would like to be back on the North Shore sometime around March. I am not CPR certified yet but will be soon. I have a Subaru Outback that I plan on shipping out there. Kids really like me and I really like them and I’ve got references on the North Shore child care, house cleaning, farming and house/dog sitting. Let’s chat.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jordan! I am a 4th year elementary teacher here on O'ahu and I am transitioning into a new profession to become a Speech Pathologist. During this transition I am eager to continue my passion of working with children while going to school. Prior to teaching I have 4-5 years of childcare experience between babysitting and working jobs such as being a counselor at summer camp. Some skills I can contribute are light housekeeping, academic practice, outdoor play, arts and crafts exploration. I do have my own car that can provide reliable transportation while caring for a child. I am a very compassionate and empathetic person that really values safety, health, and well-rounded care for any child that I work with. I look forward to meeting your family:)
