What drives the price

Most Rosenberg families pay somewhere in the $8–$25/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! My name is Emily, and I’m 20 years old. I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver looking for a part-time summer position.
I have experience taking care of my younger cousins and volunteering at church, where I supervised and cared for children of different ages. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills when working with kids.
A fun fact about me is that I’ve been working as a dental assistant for the past year! This has strengthened my responsibility, professionalism, and attention to detail. I am also CPR certified, so safety is always my top priority.
I’m available early mornings through afternoons and would love to support a family who needs reliable, positive help during the summer. I enjoy creating fun activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping children engaged in a safe and nurturing environment.
