FAQs for finding special needs child care

At a national level, hiring someone on Care.com for special needs child care costs an average of $19.78 per hour as of October 2026. This rate of pay can vary depending on how much experience the provider has, the specialized training they have in working with special needs children and the degree of care that needs to be provided for your child.
Special needs child care providers are specialized caregivers that are generally trained to help children with a variety of physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional needs. Many are well-versed in teaching children with special needs or have experience preparing meals and administering medication. They can also plan customized activities to keep your child social and stimulated, both physically and mentally.
You can filter special needs child care providers by distance from your area and compare each person by their hourly rate, experience and specific skill set they have working with kids with special needs. You can also see if another family in your area has reviewed a particular provider you're interested in to get a sense of whether they would be a good candidate to bring in for an interview.
