I know location obviously plays a difference, but what do you think is a reasonable price to pay for a sitter for two kids? I don’t want to low ball. It would be 3-4 hours. I was thinking $20 an hour. She’s also a close friend. 🤔

I think that’s a great rate
Amber ·
That’s a great amount. We pay $15 an hr.
Heather·
Yeah, $20 an hour is great.

I think $20 an hour is good but you can always ask her her rate first. I think it really depends on how independent the kids are. Obviously kids who aren’t potty trained will cost more.

I think so but it depends on the person. Here they charge per hour per kid so if she does flat rates for houses that’s amazing and definitely a great price.

Man....do you know in the freakin 90s, at the height of my babysitting career, I was makin 5 bucks an hour, for kids 5 and under, and 4 bucks for kids 6-11 and I was considered HIGH! 🤯 EVERYONE'S kids wanted AWESOME Aunt Linden to watch em though so my lil BARELY teenage ass was RAKIN it in! 🤑🤣
I remember the first 50 bucks I made, I spent on one of those giant plastic purses that were a thing back then. Lmao! I bought it at Stage (PRETTY sure it's NOT been in business longer than it EVER was in business!) and it was a bright purple-irredescent color! 😎 Ahhhh, nostalgia! 🥰

Is it a one time thing, like for a date night? Or ongoing each week? We pay our sitter by the day
