What drives the price

Most Benbrook families pay somewhere in the $10–$20/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.
+$1 to $2/hour per additional child

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 all! My name is Faith. I'm 21 years old, and I have over two years of professional nanny experience. I'm currently looking for a new part-time nanny opportunity beginning in late March.

I am expecting a newborn son in early February, but I would not need to bring my son to work with me. However, I would like a job opportunity which is flexible enough that I could take a small break to pump breast milk approximately every 3 hours.

My ideal hours would be 7/8am-2/3 pm, on several weekdays, and I'd like to stay within/near the Fort Worth area if possible.
My starting hourly rate is 15-20$/hour, depending on how many children you have and their ages.

I have my own car (which is dependable and insured) and a clean driving record. I also have completed CPR courses in the past and have a clean background. Thank you, and feel free to message me with any questions or interest!
