Pricing for babysitters
Babysitters can create an account, search for babysitting jobs, and contact parents completely free of charge. If you want to enjoy extra security we recommend planning your bookings and receive payments through Babysits. A platform fee of 8% (introduction price) is applied on payouts received through Babysits.
Hourly rates for babysitting
Parents and childcare providers indicate their expected hourly rates to other community members via their profile. However, this is not a fixed rate and you are always able to negotiate.
