What drives the price

Most Moore families pay somewhere in the $7–$27/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.

A little bit about me

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile!

My name’s Haley. I’m 18 years old and have both SIDS and Safe Sleeping certifications. I’ve worked with children of all ages.

I’m a reliable and easygoing nanny/babysitter who genuinely enjoys being around kids and helping families stay sane. I’m patient, dependable, and good at balancing fun with structure. Whether that’s keeping little ones entertained, or just making sure the day runs smoothly, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for.

I can be a little quiet at first, but connecting with kids has always come naturally to me. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them engaged, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I know every family does things differently, so I’m adaptable and pretty good at rolling with whatever the day brings. I’m not trying to be a Pinterest mom replacement — just someone you can trust to show up, keep your kids safe and happy, and make your life a little easier.

A little bit about me

Hello, I am a single mom of one, recently divorced, looking to make extra money to live on. I just completed my first year as a paraprofessional, and previously homeschooled my child for 2 years. I am comfortable with kids of different abilities, and am willing to help with basic tutoring as well. I am looking to provide care in your home, am comfortable with animals, and can do light housekeeping. I love to read, play board/card games, and do crafts. After an initial visit or two, I would love to bring my own child along, but would understand if that is not an option.

A little bit about me

I do not have a degree in education, but in high school I volunteered as a big sister and I helped with special needs and special Olympic. So I have experience more than anything. I know god gave me this gift with children. I love them, they make me happy and I know I'm meant to be a mother. I've only helped take care of 5 years old to newborn range. I am currently coaching t-ball for I9 sports which is a really awesome experience! I am able to teach while having fun. I go above and beyond with my kiddos. I treat them like they are mine. I like to be involved. I like to teach. I like to entertain. I have an eye for detail meaning I can see mood changes I can see when something's wrong also goes for cleaning. I am well organized and like to clean. I currently am a manager for Rasing canes so I can multitask, manage people, and work at a fast pace. I can be anyone you need me to be. I can act as a second parent, a best friend, a cool aunt, or just a taxi driver. Whatever you need help with I can be your person.
