Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $13.50/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $13.90/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $13.75/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $14.51/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 here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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
Throughout my experience, I have cared for children aged 0 to 10, managing daily routines, organizing engaging activities, and providing assistance with homework. My ability to communicate effectively and build trusting relationships ensures that both children and parents feel comfortable and confident in my care.
While I am not certified in first aid or CPR, I prioritize safety and am committed to creating a positive and secure atmosphere for children. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to each family I work with!
