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.

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
