Key findings from Urban Sitter's 2015 survey: 1  San Francisco has surpassed NY as the city with the most expensive rates, where the average babysitting rate for one child is $15.93 per hour. 2  Denver has the least expensive rates, where the average pay starts at $11.04 an hour for one child.
The same Genworth survey published the national average of home health aides to be $20 per hour and homemakers to be $19 per hour. Applying this hourly rate of $20 for a caregiver means that home care costs about $4900 per month, which consists of 8 hours daily / 7 days a week. Following along this line of reasoning, the cost of home care is $1400 more than assisted living. However, when it is practical to hire a caregiver for 6 hours daily rather than 8 hours, or 5 days a week instead of 7 days, then the costs are very similar.
