What is the going rate for an overnight house sitter?

What is the going rate for a summer sitter?

  • I have two sons, ages 9 and 6, both which are self sufficient...My husband and I don't make a TON of money, and will only need a sitter one to maybe two '8' hour days per week...I don't expect much, just feed them breakfast and lunch and keep them entertained...don't expect housework or to do dishes...(but not to be a slob either) I plan on giving the sitter money when they want to go to the zoo, beach, go for ice cream, etc...BUT it's always hard knowing how much to pay? Don't want to give the sitter half my paycheck as I have bills to pay, but dont' want her to refuse work or not show up because I'm not paying enough...any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    My daycare only charges 215 / week. My children are only 4 and 16 months. We don't live in a city; it is quire rural. I know a girl and she charges 245 for one child per week and that is insane especially in our area. I know I can't afford 5-8 bucks per hour by the time they finish taxes and medical I would be working for free. FYI, my daycare is full where the other one is not and I know I wouldn't ever pay that much, ever. (If I paid 245 per kid I would be in the negative)
