What drives the price

Most Norcross families pay somewhere in the $9–$30/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
Hourly rate by number of kids
1 kid (baseline)$18.53
2 kids~$19.53
3+ kids~$20.53+

03

Hours & schedule

Standard weekday daytime hours are easiest to staff. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute coverage all push rates up.
10–20%premium for off-hours coverage
Hourly rate adjustment by 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 babysitter rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$19.82/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$18.03/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.01/hr

Part-time runs slightly lower per hour than full-time here, which often means strong full-time demand supports higher rates for committed schedules.

Live-in rates are close to live-out here — but the package usually still includes room and board, so the all-in cost can be lower than it appears. 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

I'm a young grandma now, with experience with toddlers and special the babies since they are newborn. I'm a Mom of 3 (they grow and they don’t need me more ;) ) they gives me too much experience too.
I love the little kids and babies, but handle all kind of ages to my care (0-83 years old) because I have experience with Senior people too.
My native language is spanish, but I also have some english too.. - I guess the enough for daily basis stuff- and a bit more.
but I'm in the process of learning more each day!
Then also, I could teach spanish words to your kid.. :) and it’s a plus for a kid knowledge.
I'm caring, affective, cooperative, responsible and I give much emphasis to having a security environment for a child.
I’m looking for a live-out schedule but I’m available for doing living-in for some days if it needs.

A little bit about me

Hi everyone!
I’m opening up my schedule for babysitting and would love to help out any families who need an extra set of hands.

👶 About Me:
• I currently work at Little Forest School in the mornings
• Experienced with infants through school-age kids
• Patient, reliable, and great with routines, playtime, and bedtime
• Comfortable with light meal prep, homework help, and basic clean-up after the kids

🕒 Availability:
• Evenings & nights
• Weekends
• And starting this summer, I’ll be available full-time!
• I use public transportation, so pick-up/drop-off isn’t something I can provide — but I’m always on time and very reliable.

💛 I’d love to find a long-term family to grow with, but I’m also open to one-time or occasional babysitting.

If you or someone you know needs a caring, responsible babysitter, feel free to message me! I’d love to chat and see if I’m a great fit for your family.
