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.
You should pay your babysitter by the hour. Between $10 and $15 per hour would be reasonable for a teenager or young person. If you're using a professional babysitter you may need to pay $20 or more per hour. If you're unsure about what to pay for your local area, ask your neighbours and other parents how much they pay.
