Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $20.79/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $19.75/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $19.13/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $19.96/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 have extensive paid and volunteer experience working with children in both educational and community settings. Professionally, I have worked in special education classrooms where I supported students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. In these roles, I assisted with implementing individualized education plans (IEPs), provided one-on-one and small-group instruction, monitored student progress, and helped create a safe and supportive learning environment.
I also completed my student teaching in special education, where I gained hands-on experience planning lessons, managing classrooms, and collaborating with teachers and families to support student success. In addition, I have served in leadership roles that involved mentoring and guiding young people, helping them build confidence, academic skills, and positive behaviors.
