Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $23.13/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $19.49/hr | |
| Occasional | 5–15 hrs/week | $19.34/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $21/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
Hi! My name is Jazlyn, and I’m a reliable and caring childcare professional with experience working with children of different ages and needs. I started working in childcare in 2023 shortly after graduating high school, and I recently became a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I work one-on-one with children while supporting their development, communication, independence, and daily skills.
I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with children. I’m comfortable creating fun, engaging activities while also maintaining a safe and structured environment. I’m currently looking for part-time childcare opportunities, especially on weekends, and would love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on!

My name is Claire Brown! I am a sophomore in university, I play a division one sport and I balance my school and my athletics well. I am someone who thinks anything can be turned into a positive as long as you make the most of it. I work hard at anything I do and I care deeply about those I’m around. A little bit about my work… I have worked with a lot of kids of many different ages for the last several years. Starting in high school I became a teachers assistant for our disabilities program. I have coached tennis to 7 year olds all the way to 16. And I have baby sat all day in the summers before.
