On average, parents can expect to pay between $18 to $29 per hour for one child, with babysitter rates increasing by $1 to $3 per hour for each additional child. It’s important to note that last-minute bookings may incur higher rates, typically an additional $2 to $3 per hour.

Hi! My name is Cassidy, and I’m currently in school majoring in Biology Pre-Medicine. I’ve always been around kids, growing up as the oldest with lots of younger cousins who I helped care for, which taught me patience and responsibility early on. I also worked with kids throughout high school, so I’m comfortable creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them. I’ve tutored kids as well. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping out however I can! I am CPR and AED certified!
