What drives the price

Full-time, part-time, and live-in child care provider rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $19.33/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $18.06/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $18.26/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 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
I feel as though I am a responsible, kind and intelligent young woman. I was on the high honor roll at my
high school and in a program called PSLC at my school. In this program
we help the incoming freshman feel comfortable with starting high school, help improve our school for
the better and provide for the people in our community. I was also accepted into the national honors
society my senior year of high school because of my academic excellence and outstanding gpa. I am majoring in psychology and plan to stay after receiving my bachelor’s degree to go to grad school. I was accepted to be a peer
leader at my university because my professors felt that I would be a great leader and someone who the
incoming freshman would be able to look up to. This position allows me to teach the freshman about all the resources and things available at the university. I will be someone
they can look up to, ask questions to and someone they feel comfortable to be around.
