Good morning ladies! Do you mind telling me what you're planning on doing for babysitter and what's the average cost / what I should be expecting to pay (in HB / OC area)?
My sister babysits all the time (I have to book her a couple weeks in advance!). She is 20 years old and in college to become a teacher. She charges $10 an hour for one child, but could charge more depending on age. I think expecting to pay between $10 and $12 is what the going rate is. Crazy, huh!
Our nanny is $12/hour for 1 child, which is right about in the middle of the range. I live in Central OC, and I would echo the range of $10-15/hour, or more depending on how many children and their ages.
