Then again, after spending a good chunk of change for a fun night on the town, I really didn&#8217;t want to overpay her either.<\/p>\n<p>I usually ended up paying our babysitter $10 per hour plus all the food and beverages she could consume from our pantry and refrigerator while we were gone.<\/p>\n<p>So how much <strong><em>do<\/em><\/strong> babysitters get paid nowadays?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it turns out the answer is: it depends.<\/p>\n<p>A sample of various babysitting websites found that babysitters currently earn between $14 and $25 per hour. However, there are multiple factors to consider when it comes to determining how much to pay them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The age and experience of the babysitter.<\/strong> Sitters under age 15 should get as low as half the pay of an older or more experienced babysitter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The age of the kids.<\/strong> Add an additional $2 per hour to their base pay for newborns and $1 per hour for toddlers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The number of kids.<\/strong> Add an additional $1 &#8211; $2 per hour for each additional child.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The cost of living.<\/strong> Big city babysitters should expect to earn more than their country cousins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If additional duties are required.<\/strong> Add an additional $1 &#8211; $2 per hour if the sitter is required to drive the kids someplace, cook meals, or perform other tasks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time of day.<\/strong> Because there is less effort involved, evening rates can be a bit lower if the kids will be sleeping while the babysitter is on duty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a quick example, let&#8217;s say you hired a 15-year-old babysitter to watch your two toddlers so you and your honey could enjoy a quiet dinner and a movie. Let&#8217;s also assume a base rate of $20\/hour for an older experienced babysitter.<\/p>\n<p>$20\/hr base rate + $1\/hr premium for the first toddler + $1\/hr premium for the second toddler + $2\/hr for one extra child = $24\/hr<\/p>\n<p>But since our sitter in this example is younger, we can cut that rate in half &#8212; so $12 per hour. Who knows; assuming your kids would be sleeping most of the time, you might even be able to shave a bit more off the rate. Or not.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I think you get the idea. I know I do now. I just wish I had these guidelines when my kids were younger.<\/p>\n<p>At least I can now rest a little bit easier knowing that I wasn&#8217;t underpaying our neighborhood babysitter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: surlygirl<\/span><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>(This is an updated version of an article that was originally published on March 6, 2012)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that my kids are grown, I no longer have to worry about babysitters.
