$20–30 is a typical hourly rate across the US in 2026. Prices vary with city, experience, hours and the number of children.
If you employ someone in your home and pay them $2,800 or more in a year, you owe federal household employment taxes. Check your state’s rules too.
Some have verified ID and certificates, shown as badges. Always run your own background check before hiring.
