How much does it cost for a babysitter during the workday?

I am thinking of someone during my working hours even though I WFH.

Same rate as any other time, why would it be different? Check your local rates. If you're in DC, hourly rate for 1 kid is $16-20 for a babysitter. But if you need someone very day, you're looking for a nanny and prices and payment is different.

Depends on how many children and their ages. If you need someone reliable for a set number of hours on set days, it’s closer to $20 plus.

Well, you do at least need to pay minimum wage in MoCO

Do you mean a nanny? Also, once you hit a certain amount, you need to be paying taxes and treating them as your employee...

I’m paying 20/hour but I got candidates wanting less in the 15-18 range.
