What drives the price
Most Mililani families pay somewhere in the $14–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
01
Experience
Experience is one of the biggest levers on a babysitter's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.
02
Number of kids
One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.

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.

I’m Tory, 22 lived in Hawaii up until I turned 18. I lived in Texas for 3 years for pilot training and came home in October of 2025. I grew up with a very large family of 8 kids and helped babysit at a very young age. I worked at a daycare center for about a year in magnolia working with children from 8 weeks to 12 years old.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Ruth I recently moved here to Hawaii from Texas! From a very young age I was a nanny for my sister while she went to work. She’s a mother of 5 and needed all the help she could get. I love kids myself and hope to have some later on! I have experience with special needs kids since my niece who’s now 4 has a condition called Craniosynostosis and low muscle tone. Being a nanny to my niece has helped me a lot since I have been able to experience many difficult situations while still helping her needs. I like being a nanny because not only am I helping another family out but I’m also able to have a job that I love while being able to support myself. I would really appreciate having the opportunity to nanny here in Hawaii!
