Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Babysitter Prices

So we've never had to pay a sitter because family has always watched our LO.  What do you pay your sitters?

    I reread your post, and I think you might be talking about a night out or something, not daycare...sorry!

  • My aunt watches them and they don't have much money so I would never expect her to do it for free.  I'm happy to help supplement their income and we pay $3 an hour per child.

  • the going rate around here is like 10/hour per child, i think.

    ETA: it wold make sense that it would not go up that much per child.  i think my friends are overpaying their babysitters.

    That is a great deal.  Around here I would expect to pay 10 per hour with two kids, 12 for three.

  • I know some girls that babysit for $10hr $1 more for each additonal child.
