What drives the price
Most Peyton families pay somewhere in the $15–$23/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.

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
Hi I’m Addison and I’m 14, I have 7 siblings and I’m the eldest so I’m very familiar on working with kids! One of my siblings is autistic, she is 5, and I’d say I do fantastic with her. Many of my siblings also have ADHD so I also know how to deal with situations when it comes to that. I personally think I am amazing with kids, although watching them can be tough I look on the bright side and always fix it!

A little bit about me
I am a caring, dependable, and patient person w/ years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your little ones. I am a single mother to a 6-month-old baby, and I also have five children ranging in age, giving me extensive real-life experience with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers. While only my baby is with me full-time, raising children has taught me the importance of patience, communication, organization, and creating routines that help children thrive. Whether your family needs a full-time nanny, part-time babysitter, date-night care, or occasional help, I strive to treat every child with the same love, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I enjoy engaging children through play, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning while always putting their safety and well-being first.
