Question

What is the average hourly rate for babysitters. What if there is more than one child?

Answer 1

I babysit two families regularly. One family pays me about 12  dollars and hour for their two kids Luke (6) and Mauve (4). They also have a third kid but he is only about 5 monthes so I do not watch him reguarly but i have some times. The  other family pays me at least 10 dollars and hour for their two boys Addision (7) and Ethen (5).

Answer 2

When I babysat 10 years ago I charged $2.50 an hour.  This was in the Midwest.  So maybe $5.00?

Answer 3

What a baby sittercharges depends upon where they live.  There is no "average" hourly rate because babysitters are individuals.  If you are looking for information on how much to charge for babysitting check with other's who babysit.  If you are looking for how much it will cost, again check with babysitters in your area as to how much they charge.

I have a niece in Northern California who gets $15-$20 an hour for babysitting depending upon how many kids and if she stays past midnight.

Answer 4

It depends on the family's condition of course.

I get paid 5 bucks an hour for two kids under ten.
