The rate to hire a childcare helper largely depends on a few factors: your location, your work requirements, language spoken, living arrangement, and the helper’s years of experience. On average, it is about 36 per hour (January, 2025) on AyiConnection.com for a regular full-time one to two kids’ situation. The rate may increase when you need the childcare helper to help with cooking, housework, overnight care, or look after additional children in the household.

Keeping in mind the Covid-19 pandemic, AyiConnect recommends families confirm with care providers directly about their health condition and be upfront about their house rules and preferences during interviews. Care providers including child care providers are highly encouraged to be open to disclose with families what practices they are comfortable with. Every family and care provider should also familiarize yourselves with the CDC safety information before work begins. With our concierge service, we will ensure to screen around the provider’s family social network and off activities. COVID tests will be recommended to providers.
