The cost of a babysitter can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including location, experience, qualifications, and the number and age of children being cared for. According to the International Nanny Association, the average hourly rate for a babysitter in the United States is around $15 to $18 per hour. However, the hourly rate can vary depending on location, qualifications and experience, and the number of children.
Here are some examples of average hourly rates for different types of babysitting services:
In-home babysitting: According to Care.com, the average hourly rate for in-home babysitting is $16 to $19 per hour.
Nanny sharing: According to the same source, the average hourly rate for nanny sharing (when two or more families share the cost of a nanny) is $15 to $17 per hour.
Live-in nanny: According to PayScale, the average hourly rate for a live-in nanny is $15 to $17 per hour.
It's important to note that these are rough estimates and that costs can vary widely depending on the location, qualifications, and experience of the babysitter, the number of children, the duties required, and the number of hours needed. Additionally, some babysitters charge an additional fee for additional children and late-night or overnight care.
