$13 is a very fair wage for a sitter under 16. I would pay $15 for older teens. I would pay $20 for a young adult. It’s not brain surgery and it’s not taxing work.

$15 an hour to watch both kids for a few hours. If it’s on a regular basis or for a lot of hours you may want to have a lower rate to encourage your child to be the ‘go to’ babysitter.

I feel like $20 an hour is on the high side, especially as I said she's not cooking cleaning or as PP noted, chaning diapers. But, a friend of hers who is also 15yr old made $25/hr for 8 hours on Monday for a similiar gig. That sounds crazy to me so I want to check in to find out what other DMV parents pay.


Ours charge $20 with no cooking, cleaning, or diapers.

Does she have any experience? That is a factor. Also she is not doing cooking or cleaning or dealing with potty training, etc. which is something I pay $20/hour for. So I would go lower.

What's the going rate for baby sitters? DD is 15 yrs old and is watching an 8 and 12 yr old. Great kids so no problems, went to the pool, walked the dogs, ordered pizza & watched movies at home. Didn't help with any homework, cook or clean anything. Thanks!
