Babysitter Cost??
How much does everyone pay for a baby sitter?? I’ve never had a babysitter so this is a first for our house. My girls are one and a half and almost four. They will already be fed and most likely in bed before the sitter arrives. The girl watching them is a coworker of mine at the daycare my kids go to, so they are familiar with her and absolutely LOVE her!

I am a baby sitter and I charge about fifteen an hour
@Moon $25 an hour!? That’s more than I get paid hourly at my full time job 😓 thank you for the info though!
When I babysat I charged 15/ hour for twins. I undercharged because I was just working for extra money. It's pretty high cost these days to be honest. I'd just look at rates in your area and then discuss with your sitter.
My area is 25 for one kid or about 28-30 an hour for 2. I personally have never charged that much as I understand how hard it is to find good people to care for your kids and make it fit in your budget. I usually charge 15-18 an hour. And that’s for however many kids

When my coworker watched my 1 year old we planned to pay $20/hr but it was also during the day so he was awake for majority of the time she was watching him, so you could probably do a bit less since they’ll be sleeping
