Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$21.04/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$19.21/hr
Occasional5–15 hrs/week$17.80/hr
Live-inSet by family$19.97/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 am a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love playing with kids, keeping them engaged in fun activities, helping them learn, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and can help children learn or practice Spanish if desired.

I have some experience helping my mom at a Montessori school, where I have assisted with children and learned about creating a positive and engaging environment for their growth and development. This experience has helped me become patient, attentive, and understanding of children’s needs.

I am currently saving for my future college studies and am dedicated to providing reliable childcare for families. I am available during the summer, on weekends, and in the evenings, with a flexible schedule. I would love the opportunity to help care for your children and provide them with a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.

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.

A little bit about me

My name is Tiajah Tucker (Tia) for short. I am 20 y/o, and I am currently a student at Navarro College. I am an athletic trainer for my school's football and cheer team! I plan on transferring to Texas State University in the fall of 2026 to pursue my major in kinesiology and hopefully intern with the Cowboys to further my career in professional football. I have also applied for a job in Frisco called the Ancor bar, to make some extra cash while going back to school for the spring. I love kids of all ages. I have 5 siblings of my own, from the ages 15-9( so the older sister instincts come in handy for my skills and experience). I hope you consider my application, as I am very excited to hopefully take care of your babies!! My Instagram is Tiaaaaa_luvsu just to see a little more about me virtually!!

Hi, I’m Aniya. I’m 18 and in college, and I’m looking for a family I can babysit or nanny for. I’m really good with kids and I’m naturally patient, calm, and playful. I like keeping things tidy, helping with homework, and making sure the kids are comfortable and safe.

If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to talk.
