14 traits the best babysitters have in common
Babysitting has become quite a lucrative business! The average hourly rate for a babysitter is $16.75 for one child and $19.26 for two kids, according to the 2019 annual study compiled by UrbanSitter. For comparison, that's more than twice the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
The Sittercity app and website are reliable, but they cannot guarantee the reliability of the sitter. Some users report no issues, while others have had sitters cancel at the last minute or fail to show up at all.
Whether you just joined Sittercity or have been on the hunt for the perfect job for a while, you may wonder if it's worth it to run a background check on yourself. If you're serious about finding a great job as a babysitter or nanny, the answer is a loud, resounding “yes!”
Sittercity is FREE for caregivers!
The site charges employers, not caregivers, so there is no cost to use the site. You set your own rates and keep 100% of the money you earn. The only potential cost to the worker is optional.
Once you hire someone from Sittercity, you are their employer and are responsible for paying that caregiver based on an agreed-upon rate and form of payment. So, it's important to be sure to agree on the terms of payment (rate and form) up front. Forms of payment could include Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, or cash.
If you aren't of legal working age and you are babysitting under-the-table, $5/hour may be acceptable for you. However, as an adult who is babysitting for a living, you should be paid at least minimum wage. Personally, I charge $10/hour for 1 child and $2/hour additional per each additional child.
According to the latest Sittercity data*, the average hourly rate for nannies in the US is $17.50 an hour and $16.00 an hour for babysitters. But hourly rates can vary significantly depending on where you live and work, the cost of living in your area, and your state's minimum wage laws.
