How much to pay a babysitter?

Are you talking about overnight? Cause 2 kids overnight I would still call 150 really good pay for overnight but it’s understandable. But just to go out a couple hours you have to know that’s way too fucking high right? If you’re willing to pay that much PM my ass cause I’ll babysit for you any damn time! Lol

$150 is an insane amount!! Tell them thanks but hell no

$150 so u can go see a movie??? :joy::joy:

I do 25 week days and 30 on weekends!

150.00?? Wow way to muxh hun. I agree with 40-50

I charge 40$ for a full day of care (8 hours) for friends kids… 20-30 tops!

Ummm no that’s what I pay for my sitter for 1 week for all three of my kids!! That’s insane

Way WAY too much. Pay max 10$ an hour per child. So if you plan to be gone 3 hours 60 MAX. I would think 40-50 would be reasonable.

150 seems steep for 2 kids for 3 hours. I would say 50-60 would be sufficient.

Just take them with if u think they’ll be quiet enough. Most likely theyll be free and too young to be really watching the movie anyway. My kids have always been pretty chill in movies tho.

10 .00 an hr per kid. These people are not your friends and they are crazy.

That’s an expensive movie…

When i would get babysitters I would pay them a flat rate of $20, subsequently, every hour after 4 hours i added $5/HR. So if i booked a sitter and went out for 30 minutes they would get $20, if i booked a sitter and went out for 6 hours I’d pay $30. All my sitters were quite happy with that deal. Whoever this person is, they are trying to fleece you!( I have 2 children 2 years between them)

For a few hours? Definitely trying to take advantage of you!! Thats ridiculous!

That’s crazy expensive

Depends where you live and how long the movie is usually $13-$20 hourly is the going rate again depends where you live and how many kids Care.com has a calculator on their site for the zipcode and how many kids

This is a joke right? I don’t know anyone that would charge that, or pay that

$150 is ludicrous! Ask them how much they charge hourly. And that whether you choose to pay their hourly rate should be based on their experience with children. My 14 y/o babysits and charges $12/hr. If it’s an adult with lots of childcare experience then I’d say $20/hr is reasonable. All depends on who is staying with the kids. Best of luck!

Too much 40/50 bucks girl

$150 for 2 maybe 3 hours? They are tripping balls. I pay between $10-$15 an hour

Not a mom but as a sitter I think for what the 3 hours it takes to go to the movies and be back? $30 is more than reasonable

Get on the kidcare website for your area…these are background checked sitters.
Tell them what you are looking for…
Honey! That is ridiculous! SOMEONE is really trying to take advantage of you.
I was a daycare provider for 17 years in Washington state…I charged $5.00 more per night kids than I did my daytime kids.
That was $20 per day and $25 for the night hours.
They slept…!
Hope these aren’t friends…dump them if they are…
