What's the going baby-sitting rate?

1 Answer

Answer :

Where I live, it’s between $8 and $15 per hour, depending on the age and education of the babysitter. Right now we have one that we’re paying $250 a week to basically be a friend of our kids. She’s entering her senior year in high school, and is about five years older than my daughter. We don’t really need a babysitter, but they have more range of possibility with an older girl around. They tend to stay in the house too much if they are on their own.
