Babysitting Opportunities- United States

Join the Network

You're already the person families trust with their kids. Now get paid like it.

Wellthy connects reliable caregivers with families who need last-minute childcare — school closures, holidays, unexpected work trips. You tell us your preferences (schedule, age of kids), we handle the rest.

What's in it for you:

• 100% Schedule Control: Work twice a week or twice a month. As an independent care provider, you only accept the gigs that fit around your personal life, other opportunities, or commitments.
• Choose Your Track: Only want to work with toddlers, love babies? Great. Prefer hanging with older kids? Done. You only take opportunities you are comfortable with.
• Hassle-Free Pay: No awkward money conversations or waiting on Venmo. Get paid competitively and directly to your bank account. Earnings range from $15.00-$30.00 per hour, depending on location, experience, and family needs.

What You’ll Do (Choose Your Preferred Opportunity):

Child Care:

• Keep kids engaged, safe, and off their screens with fun activities.
• Assist with basic routines (meals, naps, homework help).

What we need from you:

• Experience: Some demonstrable experience in childcare (babysitting, siblings, nannying, daycare or volunteering counts!).
• Reliability: You show up on time and communicate clearly.
• Trust & Safety: To ensure the highest quality of care for our clients, all independent care providers must complete our comprehensive Trust & Safety onboarding process and meet all local, state, and enterprise childcare compliance standards. (CPR/First Aid certification is a plus!)
• Empathy: You genuinely care about helping families and hanging with kids.

Ready to get paid for making a difference? Sign up today to join the care network that fits your busy life.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What are you looking for in childcare providers? We’re looking for experienced, reliable caregivers who genuinely enjoy supporting families. That can include nannies, babysitters, early childhood educators, teachers, tutors, and more. Strong references, a thoughtful approach to care, and a commitment to safety all go a long way.

How will you use my information? We’ll use your information to review your application, get to know your experience, and (if it’s a fit) move you forward in our vetting process. If you join the network, your profile helps us match you with families looking for care that fits your skills and availability. We take privacy seriously and only use your information to support this process.

What’s the next step in the process? If your application looks like a good match, we’ll invite you to complete a free background check. From there, we may follow up with a few additional questions before welcoming you into the Wellthy Care Network and recommending you to our families.

When will I hear back from you with childcare opportunities? Once you’re in the network, opportunities are shared based on what families need—things like location, schedule, and type of care. Some providers hear from us quickly, while for others it may take a bit more time. We’ll reach out when there’s a strong match.

So the network is free to join - what’s the catch? No catch. There’s no cost to apply, join, or stay in the network. We simply connect families who need care with trusted providers—and when you’re booked for care, you’re paid directly for your work.
