What drives the price
Most Beverly Hills families pay somewhere in the $17–$45/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) | $26.62 |
|---|---|
| 2 kids | ~$27.62 |
| 3+ kids | ~$28.62+ |
Hours & schedule
| Weekday 9–5 (standard) | — |
|---|---|
| Evening/weekend | +$2–4/hr |
| Last-minute | +$3–5/hr |
Also factor in: live-in vs. live-out · household duties beyond childcare · driving · cooking · travel.
Full-time, part-time, and live-in child care provider rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $28.24/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $29.32/hr | |
| Live-in | Set 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
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.
