What drives the price

Full-time, part-time, and live-in babysitter rates
| Arrangement | Typical hours | Average rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time | 35–50 hrs/week | $14.52/hr | |
| Part-time | 10–25 hrs/week | $12.87/hr | |
| Live-in | Set by family | $14.40/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 here run higher than live-out — uncommon, but typically reflects specialty demand for around-the-clock or live-in newborn care. 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
I am in high school but can and will work straight after school if I need to. Or sense I have a car, I can pick your kids up and take them to the house when I'm out of school which is usually around 3:30 PM - 4:00 PM. I do have sisters whom are in sports and will need to pick them up when they're done but then I got the time in the world.
I would love to help.

I’m open to pretty much anything. Willing to travel or even relocate if it’s a good match. I’ve always loved kids and know I’ll have my own someday but not there yet.
