Full-time, part-time, and live-in child care provider rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$28.24/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$29.32/hr
Live-inSet by family$27.67/hr

Part-time often runs higher per hour than full-time. Short, fragmented schedules are harder for child care to fill alongside other jobs, so the per-hour rate compensates.

Live-in arrangements look cheaper per hour because room and board are part of the package. The trade-off is space — you'll need a private bedroom and ideally a separate bathroom for the child care provider.

Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care 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 child care 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

Hello, I'm Terri, an 18-year-old with a passion for caring for children. As the eldest of five siblings, I've cultivated my skills in cooking, cleaning, and childcare. With a year of paid babysitting experience and a background in the church nursery, I've honed my abilities and developed a genuine love for the vibrant personalities of babies and toddlers.

In addition to managing household responsibilities, my time in the church nursery allowed me to connect with children on a deeper level. Beyond the routine, I've embraced the joy and enthusiasm they bring to every interaction. My caregiving goes beyond the basics; it's a heartfelt commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children to thrive.

I'm not just a babysitter; I'm a dedicated caregiver with a genuine passion for enriching the lives of the children I care for. Through practical experience and an inherent love for children.
