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.
Care.com has the answer for whatâs normal in your area. Babysitters make more in cities with a high cost of living. According to Care.comâs study, the average hourly babysitting rate in San Francisco, for example, is $16.65, compared to the national average of $13.44 an hour. Babysitters in all of the 75 cities examined all made over $11 an hour. How much to pay will depend on a number of factors, such as your kidsâ ages, how many kids need watching, and the sitterâs experience. Expect to pay more for younger kids, more than one child, and sitters with more experience. The average rate is a starting point, though.
