About Joseph. I'm a retired school teacher with the Broward School District where I spent forty blessed years being involved with middle school kids. I am privileged to serve as a deacon at the Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale Church where I attend.
Average Rates. Average babysitting wages ranged from $8 to $12 per hour in 2014, according to BabysittingRates.com. Some families may pay as little as $4 per hour, while some families may pay $18 or more per hour, depending on their specific situation. Experience Pays.
In 2009, the average baby sitter was paid $10.50 per hour; in 2014 it was $13.44. But if you have more than one kid, expect to pay up to $5 per hour more for each additional child.
