FAQs for finding hourly child care near you
What is hourly child care?
Hourly child care is a form of child care that you can book by the hour. Babysitters are a common source of hourly child care, whereas you may pay a nanny a weekly or monthly salary that isn’t based on the exact amount of hours they work. You can also find drop-in hourly child care at child care centers.
How can I find hourly child care near me?
To find hourly child care near you, you can use Care.com to help narrow down your search by reviewing different child care provider profiles until you find individuals who can meet your family’s care needs. You can even read reviews from real families they worked with to get an idea of what they’re like to work with.
How much does hourly child care cost?
Child care rates per hour tend to vary widely based on factors like where you live, the years of experience the caregiver has, and how many children you have. While the average child care hourly rate on Care.com is $19.39, you can find a child care hourly rate that can meet your budget by reviewing different caregiver profiles.
What types of hourly child care services are available in 2024?
There are many different types of hourly child care services available. Some hourly child care providers can help you out by picking up your kids from school, others can assist with light housework and cooking, and you can even hire a caregiver who can help out at homework time.
How can I safely find hourly child care?
While we do ask every all Care.com hourly child care provider listed on Care.com to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck (anyone who complete a CareCheck has a badge on their profile that displays the date it was run), we strongly recommend you take additional steps to help ensure your family’s safety by interviewing different candidates, requesting professional references, and running a private background check.
