What drives the price
Most Henderson families pay somewhere in the $12–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.
Experience
Number of kids
| 1 kid (baseline) | $16.70 |
|---|---|

| 3+ kids | ~$18.70+ |
Hours & schedule

Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $18.08/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $16.52/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $17.39/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $17.40/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.

A little bit about me
I have worked in a daycare where I cared for children ranging from 2 months to 5 years old with one other coworker. While there, I kept a clean environment, helped with developmental skills and made sure to keep the smiles going.
I come from a family of teachers so I've spent hours volunteering in many schools helping children from 5-9 years old with school work and basic skills. After spending time with the kids and helping them I learned that this is something I've love to do.
I am more than welcome to meet you before any decisions are made. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!
