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.
These babysitting rates can vary depending on a number of factors. Generally the further outside a city you are, the less you have to pay per hour. Many moms pay a flat rate per hour, plus an additional $1-$3 per extra child. This means that for two children a babysitter may cost between $9 and $14 per hour.
