DC $12.25 for sitter $14.00 for nanny.
That sounds low but more in line with what I share with mom friends (which tends to be $14-18 range). The anonymous postings on here are totally outrageous and fake news.
--San Francisco tops the list with an average babysitting rate of $14 per hour for one child, $16.75/hr for two children, and $19.25/hr for three children. For more reasonable rates, head to Denver, where the average pay starts at $10.25 per hour for one child.
How much do parents pay the nanny? Across the nation, nannies earn up to two more dollars an hour than babysitters.
--The national average for nanny pay is $13.50/hour for one child, $15.50 for two children, and $17.25 for three children.
Bringing back date night. A third of parents surveyed said they hire a babysitter 1-2 times a month for a date night, and an additional 32% said they go out at least 4-6 times a year.
