How much to charge a babysitter?

Question

Hello! I have a 17 month old baby girl named Amelia. I was wondering how much I should pay for a baby sitter. Like a reasonable price range?
 It would be 7 hours a day- 5 days a week (Mon-Fri).
They could be at my house or theirs- whatever works best for them. 
Thank you in advance! 
I’m not sure if this has to get taken into account but, Amelia can talk great as well as basic sign language. For a toddler, she is pretty independent and well behaved! She’s very easy to get along with and loves everyone!

Answer

No less than $10/hr for a qualified nanny if your child is the only one she's watching. Depending on her experience and education it may be closer to $15-20/hr.

Answer

I would say check with your local day cares to see what their prices are, and look on care.com to see what the sitters in your area charge. Minimum would probably be $15/hour, so $105/7 hour day and $525/week.

Answer

I paid $10/hour for my nanny. If you expect meal prep/house cleaning/pet care/grocery pickup/errands ran, add an extra dollar per hour for each additional service you expect.

Answer

Where are you getting the babysitter from? If you’re doing care.com they will list what their rates are and what their qualifications are. If it were me I would choose someone more experienced and that would probably be $15+/hour

Answer

I would say 15-20 per hour for an experienced nanny with cpr training. I would only hire an experienced nanny with this training. If they are inexperienced though then you could get away with about 11-13 per hour but I would definitely hire someone with experience.

Answer

15-20 per hour.

Answer

I'd expect to pay a good chunk of change for that. You cant ask somebody to watch a child at near full time hours and pay dirty cheap so I'd say at least 15 an hour

Answer

At least minimum wage for where you live, but probably more depending on their qualifications.
