What drives the price
Most Glendora families pay somewhere in the $17–$38/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.

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

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.

My name is Jaliah Rogers and i am 17 years old , i’m a Jr at Glendora Highschool. I am involved in the church and grew up in a christian household. when i’m older i was to be a children’s therapist because i love working with children . My father was a pediatrician so he also worked with children . i’m the youngest in a family of 4. i use to live in springfield ohio but i moved to california when my dad suddenly passed away in 2021. i’ve had to start a new life here but it was not hard for me at all because im a very social person and im also very emotionally aware. i didn’t really have a good childhood so taking care of kids heals the parts of me that were never taken care of . i’m very empathetic and very kind. i’ve always been an extrovert and it’s super easy to talk to me because im like an open book.
