Unlike nannies, babysitters often work part-time or on an âas-neededâ basis for several families at a time, and are paid hourly at the end of a shift. Hourly rates are influenced by cost of living and minimum wage laws. According to a 2017 survey of Sittercity babysitters, the U.S. national average is $13.95/hour.
Average Rates. Average babysitting wages ranged from $8 to $12 per hour in 2014, according to BabysittingRates.com. Some families may pay as little as $4 per hour, while some families may pay $18 or more per hour, depending on their specific situation. Experience Pays. Rates also depend on the babysitter's experience level. Teens just entering the job market may be thrilled to earn $5 an hour; experienced sitters, babysitters with college degrees related to child development, or babysitters holding first-aid and CPR licenses may expect a minimum of $10 per hour.
