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

ArrangementTypical hoursAverage rate
Full-time35–50 hrs/week$16.26/hr
Part-time10–25 hrs/week$15.77/hr
Live-inSet by family$16.31/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 I’m Haylee Verhoff. I’m looking for someone to help out in the early mornings to mid-day. I can help run errands, clean, baby-sit, tutor, care for an elder, house sit, dog sit, cat sit, plant sit etc.

Growing up I went to Anthony Wayne high school playing competitive soccer and varsity cross country, track, swim and tennis.
I went to BGSU studying fashion and then transferred to Northwest State studying business management and marketing. I have a full time job in retail at the moment from 2pm-11pm, 40 hours a week.
I can care for children during the mornings/mid-day and on my couple days off. My experience with kids started when I baby-sat the neighbors kids when I was 13 years old! At the time they were 2 and 5.
I’m Miss Midwest for the Regency International Organization Pageant which will be held in Texas at the end of July. I also love going to my church at ZOAR Lutheran.

A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m Emma, I’m 24 years old! Childcare has been a huge part of my life for the past 6 years. I spent 5 years as a nanny, where I cared closely for children and became someone families could rely on and trust. I loved helping with daily routines, planning fun activities, supporting learning, and creating a positive environment where children felt comfortable and cared for.

I am currently working in a daycare and have 1 year of experience working in that setting, which has allowed me to strengthen my communication, organization, and multitasking skills while working with children in group settings. I’m caring, dependable, patient, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive. I always strive to make children feel safe, happy, and supported while giving parents confidence that their little ones are in good hands.
