Babysitting Rates

When we have teenagers we pay between 5-6 an hour. That was for 2 kids. Now we have an infant too.. I don't think I would not leave her with a teenager yet though.

We have had some college students and we pay them $9-$10 hour.

We pay $8-10/hr for off-duty teachers from our children's preschool to babysit for us. They charged the same for one child as they are for watching two now.

We pay $5 per hour for one child - and she is 19 months old.

Great question! What did you find out? Thanks - L.

Hi. If you mean babysitting for a few hours - a teenager, I heard the going rate is anywhere from $5, 6 or $7 an hour. You might also ask them what they would like to get. If you mean daycare, I've heard of $25 per day, $30 per day, and $40 per day, depending on the day care. Hope this helps.

I'm looking for a daycare provider in the Brookfield area because I live in Brookfield. I would also like to know the rates also, I will be having a baby in July and will need a babysitter in September. I called the daycare centers and they are outragous per week $265.00 average.

Thank you for your help.

The going rate in our area is $10/hour. Quite the increase from the $1/hour I got for babysitting!

This seems to be the rate no matter the number of kids or the age of the sitter. I pay the 16 year old across the street the same thing as a college student.

We pay 11 dollars an hour for our five month old son. I know that my sister in law in Glenview pays 13/hour for three boys.

Good Luck!

Hi - I pay $10 an hour. I have one babysitter who is in grad school who requests $11/hr, but I don't think she is any better than the other sitters.

We pay our occasional babysitter $10.00/hour. She's a 20 year old who drives to our house when we need her. I know some other moms who pay 12-13 year olds $5-$6/hour.

Hi D., I pay 10 bucks an hour for our sitter. She's still in high school, but one of those exceptional kids who I am 100% comfortable with. Our part time nanny gets 13 an hour when she's here.

Hello-

I have a nine month old and I pay my sitters $10 an hour. I have heard it is between $10-$15. Good Luck!
