Metro parent relief - cost?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know the usual hourly fee for Metro Parent Relief for an occasional or back-up babysitter? I see on the website that they have a referral fee for each shift, but what do you pay hourly for the sitter (one child?)

I'm not 100% certain but I think it actually depends on the sitter. I think the sitter sets the price, not Metro Parent Relief.

This is correct - you pay an administrative daily fee to the agency, but negotiate the rates directly with the sitters.
